It never really started.... not as such, though the British were heavily engaged in the transportation & trading of slaves. The establishment of the West Indies as a sugar growing region benefitted Britain commercially and established parts of what became the British Empire.

When did England have slaves?

Slavery in England existed in various forms from the Roman occupation (43-410 AD) through the medieval period, but it became more structured with the establishment of the transatlantic slave trade in the 16th century. While slavery was never as widespread in England itself as in its colonies, it persisted until the 19th century. The legal status of slavery was challenged in the late 18th century, leading to the landmark Somerset v. Stewart case in 1772, which ruled that slavery could not exist in England. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 formally abolished slavery throughout the British Empire.
