MōSaF LONDON

MōSaF LONDON (Museum of Slavery & Freedom London) is a community campaign which presents a new way of thinking about Deptford, one of London’s oldest neighbourhoods. Starting at the Thames riverside it explores the area's historic connections to the triangular slave trade and the fight for freedom from it.

There are few memorials to the slave trade in the UK’s capital, an astounding gap in the country’s cultural landscape. Our railway system, cotton and coal industries, the City of London and the Country House movement all owe a substantial economic debt to the trade in humans. Deptford is also home to some landmarks in the fight for abolition.

MōSaF's guided walk provides a historical snapshot of how, and exactly where on Deptford's streets and bankside, our citizens, businesses and institutions were involved in the trade. It marks out places where the fight for abolition took place.
