William Blake uses the phrase "mind-forg'd manacles" in his poem "London" to describe the mental constraints and oppressive social conditions that restrict individuals in society. These manacles symbolize the psychological and emotional imprisonment created by the rigid social hierarchies and oppressive structures within London at the time. Blake suggests that people are trapped in a cycle of mental bondage that prevents them from experiencing true freedom and self-expression.
