About this experience
The organisation's drive is in changing the narrative of the common story of British history. Through studying Sociology, History and Black Studies, our organisation have been able to unpack years of documented events that have been archived in national and international storage facilities, interviewed award winning authors and studied academic journals. This journey has given us the opportunity to access a range of perspectives, compare and contrast theorists and to build a better historical outlook. Having developed the ability to put theory into practice, we have spent years engaging in the conversation on British colonialism, hosting tours of the City London and contributing research to gallery and museum exhibitions. This tour has the cutting edge like no other educational experience, packed with hidden history, humour, jaw dropping facts and a view of some London's ancient and modern architecture.

You won't find a better way of spending am afternoon.
I have never finished a tour or a history talk so shocked, inspired and informed. I am a huge 'tourist' and gatherer of knowledge and history and the tour was the best I've been on. The way Darrel presented the information, unapologetic, personal and at is core informative was superb. The links illustrated between what we are told about history, figures in history and the actual history were emotionally and culturally shocking.

London City Slave Trade Money Trail Tour
The Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London is an essential experience for anyone interested in history, social justice, or human rights. It's a sobering reminder of the past's ongoing impact on our present. Mr. Darrel Blake, our guide, delicately wove the sensitive topic of how the transatlantic slave trade significantly contributed to London's development during the 17th to 19th centuries. Mr. Blake brought into perspective London’s wealth accumulation and urban growth from the slave trade profits that fueled its economic growth. The Slave Trade Money Trail Tour delved into intricacies of the African slave trade, from its roots to its abolition, to the lasting legacy of slavery in modern London. Visiting iconic financial and vital locations in London added depth to the narrative of how the slave trade wealth reinforced social stratification, solidifying elite power. Our guide's knowledge and passion made the experience truly unforgettable. He shared personal experiences and artifacts that brought his narrated stories to life. Understanding London's complex history is crucial for contextualizing the city's modern-day diversity, cultural dynamics, and ongoing social justice and this tour is highly recommended.

EYE OPENING & JAW DROPPING...!!!
As we stood outside the Royal Exchange waiting for the tour to start the rain came down, but was soon forgotten as Darrel our tour guide took us back in time. His delivery is clear and concise, his knowledge is vast and backed by proof. Darrel allows you to get involved not just by asking questions but he makes sure that you have heard, and received the information given, by challenging your memory about what you have just learnt. This is my second tour with Darrel and both tours were incredible, I got 16 of my school friends together to learn about what they didn't teach us in school 4 decades ago. What a fabulous time we had, thank you very much Mr Darrel Blake for a fantastic educational day. I would definitely recommend that you take your children and or grandchildren on this tour.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Slave Trade Money Trail Tour in the City of London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
