Hello all
In November, I will be travelling to London for the first time since becoming interested in the mystery of JtR, and together with other Ripper-related places, I look forward to visiting the graves of the canonical victims.
Knowing from experience that, even in the rare case they are open, cemetery offices may not always be very helpful, I would be very grateful for any information helping me to most easily find the four existing graves, and the approximate location of that of Chapman in the Manor Park Cemetery. |

Hi Lestri
I have recently visited the Graves. St Patricks in Leyton are always very helpful and will point you in the right derrection. Kelly's grave is covered with flowers and things from well wishers. Stides grave is also well maintained and easy to find if you ask at the gate. Nicols and eddows are together but only memorial placks remain marking the spots. Again they are well known by the staff who will help, I think they even publish a map. The Chapman grave nolonger exists, it has been covered by new graves in the 1980's you can find the approx location and staff will help but there is not much to see.
The murder sites can still be visited. Millers Court has gone but you can walk down old Dorset St. The other sites are easy to find Mitre Sq has alot of atmoshere and there's some great walks into the city, although I can never work out the exact spot for Stride.
Good luck hope you enjoy your visit to London. You can still drink in the Ten Bells but last time I was there they werent very Ripperologist freindly.
Hope this helps there are pictures maps etc on thisd site. Jeff |

To anyone else who might be looking for directions to the graves, check the threads under the individual victims, especially Kelly and Stride, for details directions as to finding the gravesites. I realize that some folks, like me, are hesitant to ask for assistance no matter how friendly the staff may be.

Recent photos of the Stride and Kelly graves are posted under those victim threads.
