On Thursday 7th May, 49 year 10 students and 5 staff set off on a History trip to London. Despite the very long coach journey and arriving a little later than planned, we arrived safe and sound in Whitechapel, ready to start our Jack the Ripper walking tour. Splitting into two groups, we set off on our journey through the East End of London, visiting places where Jack had committed his crimes more than a hundred years ago. Standing on the very ground where women such as Mary Jane Kelly and Annie Chapman had been murdered and seeing photos of the victims, really captivated our students. We ended the trip in Pizza Express and had a delicious two course meal before finding the coach to return back to Andover.
