London Society of West India Planters and Merchants

The London Society of West India Planters and Merchants was an organisation established to represent the views of those engaged in the trade with the Caribbean that held a diverse range of views on the region, ranging from London-based merchants to British West Indian planters, including both pro and anti-abolitionists.‍

The Society was formed in 1775 and brought together three different groups: British-based sugar merchants, absentee planters and colonial agents.‍
