Serial Killer: John Christie
John Christie left his flat suddenly, owing several weeks rent. The front room reeked of disinfectant, and it was not long before the gruesome secrets of 10 Rillington Place were uncovered.
Rillington Place was a sleazy dead-end road in Notting Hill, London. The three-storey terraced houses had once been the homes of well-to-do Victorian families. By the early 1950s they were divided into flats, low-rent housing being taken over by London’s growing immigrant community.
Number 10 was at the far end. Dirty curtains kept inquisitive eyes fro peering through the ground floor window. At the back was a weed-choked yard enclosed by a crumbling wall. From the street it appeared no different from the others, but what was found inside one March morning in 1953 made it one of the most infamous addresses in England.
10 Rillington Place became the title of a book and later a film, but you will not find it on any map of London; it no longer exists. The name of the street was changed, and number 10 was pulled down.
