There are centuries of Black history across Britain's canal networks. This guided cruise from Camden to Kings Cross and back will expose and explore some of that history. Your exclusive, comfortable, canal boat will float gently along the quiet backwaters of this busy city while we discuss:

Black scientists and inventors
Ancient African engineering
The real Bridgerton, rich Black British people of the 1800s
The Trinidad connection, canals and capitalism
African Americans and Civil Wars
Luxuries and classic British culture
Racist statues and those who defend them, the BLM connections
Caribbbean labour and the British Industrial Revolution
History in your school dinner
Armed Black resistance against white supremacy
British sewage and the West Indies
Your underwear and gasholders

Plus. Bring your own sandwiches and have a nibble while we float. After the commentary, we will enjoy some classic Soul/R&B while sipping Jamaican ginger beer and sharing our specially curated historical book list.
