What to Bring on a Crime Tours Tour in London

Let’s talk about preparing for your Crime Tours experience in London. Given the range of tour durations – from just 50 minutes to an impressive 600 – and the variety of tours available (with 50 different options), it's wise to be prepared for a flexible visit. We want you to get the most out of exploring London’s darker side.

Considering that many tours involve walking, particularly those focusing on historical locations like the Jack the Ripper sites, comfortable footwear is absolutely essential. Opt for sturdy trainers or walking shoes – you’ll likely be covering some ground, and potentially navigating uneven pavements. Layers are also key; a light jacket or sweater will allow you to adjust to varying temperatures as you move between indoor and outdoor stops.

Given the tour lengths, ranging from short glimpses to extended investigations, it's sensible to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated, especially if opting for longer tours. Small snacks could also be useful – particularly if you’re taking a 50-60 minute option. A notebook and pen might be handy for jotting down observations or questions that arise during your tour.

For the top-rated “A Private VIP Jack the Ripper Black Cab Tour” at £295, which runs for approximately 1.5 hours, you'll want to ensure you’re comfortable being a passenger in a black cab and prepared for potentially cramped spaces.

Finally, remember that many of these tours are based on historical accounts and may involve discussing sensitive topics – so bring an open mind and a willingness to learn.
