A Whitechapel museum dedicated to the notorious Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper is to be sold at auction.
The six-storey building, on Cable Street, has a guide price of £685,000, and does not come with the grisly artefacts.
The Ripper, who murdered and mutilated at least five women, has never been identified.
When it opened six years ago, the museum was criticised for glamorising violence against women.
The property is described by Auction House London as a well-located mid terrace with potential for redevelopment .
The successful buyer will have access to rooms decorated with a Ripper theme, as well as crime scene reconstructions and a Victorian mortuary chamber.
The name Jack the Ripper originated in a letter written by an individual claiming to be the murderer that was later disseminated in the media.
However, the letter is widely believed to have been a hoax and may have been written by journalists in an attempt to heighten interest in the story and increase their newspapers circulation.
After more than a century of speculation, rumour and legend about the killer, ten years ago historians ploughed through census records to gain insight into the lives of the women he targeted.
Studies of the 1881 census showed that far from being the young, lifelong prostitutes that modern cinema portrays, the victims were actually often older and married with children.
