The National Portrait Gallery has an exhibition on the 200th anniversary of the Act to abolish the Slave Trade in Britain. Some paintings and portraits are available on NPG's website.
There is also a sidebar component on the website that goes through some of the history of slavery in Britain, and key individuals linked to Britain's slave trade. It was researched by Dr. Caroline Bressey of the University College in London. It's a nice addition to the exhibition, and well worth reading.
