The last of the "canonical five", Mary Jane Kelly had lodgings in Brick Lane in late 1887 to early 1888. Also, the surgery of Dr Timothy Killeen was at 68 Brick Lane; he was called to examine the body of Martha Tabram (considered by some to be a possible early victim of Jack the Ripper).

Fact

The legend of the Ripper is still promoted in the East End of London with many guided tours of the murder sites. The Ten Bells, a Victorian pub in Commercial Street that had been frequented by Jack the Ripper's victims, was the focus of such tours for many years. To capitalise on this business, the owners changed its name to the "Jack the Ripper" in the 1960s, but, following protests by feminists and others, the pub returned to its old name.
