Amistad's Partner - London Museum in Docklands is working on a new exhibit - London, Sugar and Slavery Gallery, the only permanent museum gallery to explore London’s relationship with the transatlantic slave trade, which will open in November.

The new gallery, called London, Sugar and Slavery, will reveal how London’s involvement in slaving has shaped the capital since the 17th century, and will challenge what people think they know about the transatlantic slave trade. It will debunk the myth that London was a minor player in the trade by showing that it funded much of the city’s industrial and financial success. From Jamaica Road to the Bank of England, from the merchant houses of Blackheath to the nation’s art collections, profits from this most lucrative trade shaped the metropolis.
