This book is a unique collection: ordinary Londoners, in their own
voices, tell about ordinary London lives. Interviews with over a
hundred people in eight localities, from inner-city Battersea, to
suburban Heston, to Greenhithe on the London fringe, have been
edited with a linking commentary by Professor Sir Peter Hall. The
first half, "London Voices", introduces the characters - their
hopes and aspirations, their frustrations and struggles, their
determination and optimism. The second, "London Lives", introduces
the themes that dominate their everyday lives: the struggle to keep
their heads above water, the search for a place to live, the hassle
of the journey to work, their friends and neighbours, their
concerns about crime, and the quality of their everyday lives. This
is not only an extraordinary social record but also a compelling
read for anyone and everyone interested in today's London, or in
any other great global city. It will provide a mine of information
for future historians on one of the world's greatest cities and
will be of special academic or professional interest to
sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, planners and social
policymakers.
