More about the book
Focusing on the transformative years of the 1960s and 1970s, the book explores London's evolution from an industrial city to a modern 'world city.' It critiques the narrow focus on the 'Swinging London' era, positioning it as a fleeting moment amid broader changes. Through various case studies, key themes such as consumerism, gentrification, deindustrialization, and racial tensions are examined, revealing how these factors laid the groundwork for the socio-economic landscape shaped by Margaret Thatcher's policies post-1979.
