Aperçu du circuit

The presence of Black people within London has often been viewed solely as the result of transatlantic slavery and colonialism. This tour dismantles this limited view, properly examining London's black history and exploring the unsuspecting streets, buildings and institutions frequented by Black Londoners over the centuries.

Join us as we dissect London's black history, from the wealth disparity between Regency-era black elites and their poverty-stricken counterparts in the squalid St Giles, to the pre-slavery humanity shown to black professionals by the British establishment, to the slaving institutions in the City's financial district, this tour explores in-depth just how multifaceted London's black legacy is.

From musicians to Moors, you'll learn about outstanding black individuals whose presence underscores just how cosmopolitan and interconnected London was.

This tour seeks to inspire and inform. Questions are encouraged - knowledge of the past prepares us for the future!
