Product Details

Praise

“Fantastic – a much-needed history of a class claimed regularly not to exist, and a compendious, endlessly quotable book of facts, anecdotes and tales of the ‘working class bohemia’ that existed, and crucially still exists, and changes and grows and thrives, in the lands south of Watford, east of Staines, north of the Thames and west of the Lea'” – Owen Hatherley, author of Red Metropolis

“This is a Dickens for a postwar North London… an intimate letter to the North London working class, written out of a tough love, completely shorn of sentimentality. This is an important book. I know of no other quite like it. I wish I had written it.” – John Marriott, Kellogg College, University of Oxford

“It’s great to see that ordinary London working class voices, not normally heard, are well represented in this cracking social history.” – Chip Hamer, author of A Class Act: Poems 2000-2015

“A vivid and compelling account of North London society from the 1950s to the present… This is grass-roots local history at its best.” – John Davis, author of Waterloo Sunrise: London from the Sixties to Thatcher

“A humane and energetic defence of London against the racists and those who would try to obliterate its working classes, past and present.” – Aditya Chakrabortty
