Famous Murderers(preferably in London)?
I want to know of more famous murderers. Preferably in London. I do know of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper. Stories like them please to keep my interest, thank you!
Well, you could always look up "Spring Heeled Jack"

I don’t know of many in the European countries. There were Rose and Ed West, sexually sadistic torture-murderers that had a couple of daughters and buried the bodies under the flagstones in the backyard. I think there was a strangler in London, as well, though I can’t for the life of me remember his name.
In America, there are some very famous ones. Jeffrey Dahmer, for example, also a sadistic serial killer. He wanted to create his very own small army of mindless sex-slaves. If you ever listen to his testimony, he actually says he wanted to make them into zombies. He would kidnap men under various pretenses, have sex with them, kill them, and sometimes cannibalize them. In one particularly memorable story, he drilled a hole in one of his ‘zombie’s’ head, and poured bleach into his skull. While the man was still alive.
Also from America (Wichita, Kansas) was Dennis Rader, aka ‘BTK’. It stood for bind them, torture them, kill them. Incredibly sociopathic. He killed about 60 people, including several families, over the period of 30 years. He had a tendency to rape women before killing them. Again, if you ever listen to his testimony (he pleaded guilty), he admits to doing these terrible things with such calm surity that it’s creepy as all hell in a hand basket.
In Australia, there was the Backpack Killer, that lured backpackers in and killed them. There was also Belle Gunness (1800s) that killed possibly dozens with strychnine, set her house on fire, thus faking her own death, and disappeared with hardly a trace. There’s John Wayne Gacy (The "Killer Clown") who was recently died. A hitchhiking woman killed everyone that picked her up a while back. They made it into a move with Charlize Theron. I’m told that the movie is good. David Berkowitz "Son of Sam" was told by his neighbor’s ‘evil’ dog to shoot and kill several couples. He was probably schizophrenic.
Sorry that most of these aren’t from London. Hope it helps anyway.
