ABSTRACT
London, as the capital of the British Empire, was the centre for imperial structures and networks in the
middle of the 20th century. The city enabled and regulated the transport of people, ideas and wealth.
This article examines how the London-based Black pressure group League of Coloured Peoples shifted
its political vision from moderate reforms for equal rights for all inhabitants of the British Empire towards
Pan-African forms of independence beyond the concept of independent nation states for British Colonies
in Africa and the West Indies during the Second World War and its immediate aftermath.
