1833 with the Abolition of Slavery Act
Oops
That act only applied to British colonies, for example in the West Indies. Except for a brief period in the 1700s there was no slavery in Britain in any exact sense unless one goes back to Roman times.
In the Middle Ages there were serfs. They formed part of their lords' estates, were 'bound to the soil' but they couldn't be freely bought or sold. Serfdom prevented the free movement of people and after the Black Death it fell into disuse and was finally abolished in 1568.
In the early 1700s some rich people bought black slaves as domestic servants and/or as a status symbol. This slavery was made illegal in 1774.
For Clarification
In 1772 it was ruled that slavery in England be illegal. The Slave Trade in and out of the British Empire was outlawed in 1807. The Abolition of Slavery Act of 1833 abolished slavery in the rest of the British Empire
