Slavery & The City

The links between the City of London and the slave trade stretch back to its foundation as part of the Roman Empire. In this walk through London's financial district, we uncover stories of both the enslaved and the enslavers among the modern-day skyscrapers and find out just where all that money ended up.

The route has some overlap with the A History of the City tour.
