The City of London Corporation has launched a consultation on landmarks with historic links to racism and slavery in the financial district as the capital reckons with its past following the Black Lives Matter protests earlier this year.

In a 1 September statement, the authority kicked off a three-month long consultative exercise asking people which landmarks – such as plaques, statues and street names in the Square Mile and on City of London Corporation sites – they think are problematic and what action should be taken on them.
