A friend of mine who gets to London much more often than I do asked me recently if any of the murder sites is marked with an official plaque or marker.
As far as I know this is not the case but I said I would ask. Anyone know if there has ever been any effort to commemorate the victims with official markers of the sites.
Any info gratefully received
Chris

None of the murder sites are marked in any way. But the graves (or approximate gravesites) of all the canonical victims except Chapman are marked with either plaques or gravestones. Stride's grave has been unmarked at times, but seems to have a gravestone now.

Hi Chris
There are no makers of any kind, although there's a blue plaque on Hanbury Street to mark the house in which comedian Bud Flanagan was born.

Hardly official, but I recently photographed this on the wall of Truman's Brewery in almost exactly the spot where 29 Hanbury Street once stood.
