Books by Peter Willmott

An anthropological study that compares a central London neighborhood with a London suburb in terms of family and community life, mobility, social status, and social interaction. The main themes of this book are the differences between the London suburb and the East End, and the differences between the middle and working-class residents.

A study of family life in the East End of London in the 1950s, based on extensive interviews and case studies, which examines the consequences of moving families from urban to suburban public housing.
