In London, Garvey sought to rebuild UNIA, although found there was much competition in the city from other black activist groups.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=437}} He established a new UNIA headquarters in Beaumont Avenue, [[West Kensington]] and launched a new monthly journal, ''Black Man''.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=438}} Garvey returned to speaking at [[Speakers' Corner#Hyde Park|Speakers' Corner]] in [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]].{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=436}} When he spoke in public, he was increasingly harangued by socialists for his conservative stances.{{sfn|Grant|2008|pp=447–448}} He also had hopes of becoming a Member of Parliament, although this amounted to nothing.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=437}}

In 1935, the [[Second Italo-Ethiopian War]] broke out as Italy invaded Ethiopia. Garvey spoke out against the Italians and praised the government of Haile Selassie.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=439}} By October, however, he was becoming increasingly critical of Selassie, blaming his lack of preparedness for Ethiopia's failures in the war.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=440}} When Selassie fled his homeland and arrived in Britain, Garvey was among the black delegates who arranged to meet him at [[London Waterloo railway station|Waterloo station]], but was rebuffed.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=440}} From that point he became more openly hostile to Selassie, describing him as a "feudal monarch who looks down upon his slaves and serfs with contempt" and "a great coward who ran away from his country to save his skin".{{sfn|Grant|2008|pp=440–441}} Garvey's vocal criticisms of Selassie further ostracised him from the broader black activist community—including many Garveyites—most of whom were rallying around Selassie as a symbol of Ethiopia's struggle against colonialism.{{sfn|Grant|2008|pp=441–442}}

In June 1937, Garvey's wife and children arrived in England, where the latter were sent to a school in [[Kensington Gardens]].{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=442}} Shortly after, Garvey embarked on a lecture and fundraising tour of Canada and the Caribbean, in which he attended the annual UNIA convention in Toronto.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=442}} In Trinidad, he openly criticised a recent oil workers' strike; this probably exacerbated tensions between him and two prominent Trinidadian Marxists then living in London, [[C. L. R. James]] and [[George Padmore]].{{sfn|Grant|2008|pp=443–444}} Once he had returned to London, Garvey took up a new family home in [[Talgarth Road]], not far from UNIA's headquarters.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=444}} In public debates, Garvey repeatedly clashed with Padmore, who was chair of the [[International African Service Bureau]].{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=441}} In the summer of 1938, Garvey returned to Toronto for the next UNIA conference.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=444}}

While Garvey was gone, his wife and sons returned to Jamaica. Doctors had recommended that Marcus Garvey III be moved to a warm climate to aid with his severe [[rheumatism]]; Jacques had not informed her husband of the decision.{{sfn|Grant|2008|pp=444–445}} When Garvey returned to London, he was furious with his wife's decision.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=446}} Garvey was increasingly isolated, while UNIA was running out of funds as its international membership dwindled.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=447}} For the first time in many years, he met up with Ashwood, who was also living in London.{{sfn|Grant|2008|p=448}}
