Yes, but since the British Empire mostly traded slaves, they didn't use black slavery as America did. There was a small time span in the 1700s were it took place, but the only real slavery in Britain/London was under Roman Occupation

Yes, slavery was practiced in London during the Roman, Viking, and medieval periods. However, by the late 18th century, Britain had become a key player in the transatlantic slave trade, which was eventually abolished in 1807.

Where did the opposition to slavery begin?

American opposition to slavery was inherited from earlier European antagonism to the idea. Western European Church lawyers of the Middle Ages came to the conclusion that slavery was incompatible with Christianity. This resulted with the abolition of slavery in some places. In England, for example, slavery was abolished by King Henry I, as a result of statements on the subject issued by the Conference of London in 1102. In the English colonies of North America, there was always some distaste for slavery resulting from the old idea that it was cruel and unchristian.
