okay welcome to London's Spitalfields Spitalfields market is right beside me now I can't talk
about October here in London without talking about Halloween Its a big celebration here
at the end of the month it's not quite as big as it is in other countries because it's
a little overshadowed by an event here on 5th of November each year called Guy Fawkes
night AKA bonfire night or fireworks night and Guy Fawkes night involves fireworks and
fun fairs and huge bonfires so it's always outshone Halloween a little which is pumpkins
and fancy dress but I thought we'd end on something Halloween inspired so something
a little spooky now obviously London's an ancient city so it's got plenty of grim and
gruesome and historic stories from the past so I thought rather than making this rather
dark I'd just come somewhere a little bit spooky one of London's pubs the ten bells
here behind me linked to Jack the Ripper were just down the road from Whitechapel and previous
landlords have claimed it's haunted and staff and drinkers in the pub have reported a number
of unexpected events the pub is named after the church bells here there has been a pub
here since the 1700's next to the church one way or another so let's pop into the ten bells
to get a drink
so the ten bells pub is a pretty historic and renowned East end London pub with a dark
past however today it's a very welcoming pub and the perfect place to get a drink if you're
in the area the pub is most famous for its connections with Jack the Ripper now much
about Jack the Ripper remains a mystery but one thing is known and well documented his
victims lived close to this pub and it's believed they drank here at least one had their last
drink in this very pub so it's also highly likely the Ripper would have visited here
and even drank here too the food and cocktail menus also featured a detailed history of
the pub and some of its more renowned and famous connections from its very long history
the bar on street level has amazing Victorian tiled walls and then upstairs where we're
having a drink is another bar which feels more like a vintage cocktail bar okay guys
thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed this look at London during the month of October
and the autumn winter season so from the ten bells and London's Spitalfields until next
time Toodles!
The End
