I saw trying to find more Jack The Ripper pictures and stumbled on this home page. Check the video plus what he says about the area:
"The "Jack The Ripper" tour was good, it was very informative and gave me a lot more insight into this mystery. It was quite horrifying to walk through the same streets where the murders occurred and the walk over then spots where the bodies where found. It was a very ugly area back then and unfortunately it is still a very ugly area now (it was interesting to see this side of London). The streets were filled with drunks and drug addicts ... our tour guide warned us "just do as I do and ignore them" which was reasonable advice until our tour guide decided to bash up one of the drunks that was following our tour group - several times (we thought it might have been better if he just left him alone). Our guide had a lot of knowledge about the mystery, and at the end of the tour he provided us with some reasonable evidence as to the identity of the killer ... there was a lot more to this story than I originally realised."
