London is a city justly proud of its cultural diversity, yet for too
long tourists and Londoners alike have had to rely on guides focusing on
its white history and landmarks. Now Black London allows us to see this
familiar city anew, gathering together the places that tell the story
of its black inhabitants, stretching back to Tudor times. From
Cleopatra's Needle sitting on the Victoria Embankment, carved in Egypt
three and a half thousand years ago, to the Black Lives Matters mural in
Woolwich, the city is rich with features that symbolise its black
history.
Here are places worth visiting and revisiting. Get
your bearings, revise your history, and be inspired by the work of some
remarkable individuals who made London a truly global, modern city.
