What is the setting of Last Orders by Graham Swift?

The main setting of the story is in central Britain in the late-nineteen eighties. The account starts in London, and then follows a road trip as the central characters travel towards the ocean to fulfill their friend Jack's final request. During this voyage, many flashbacks change the setting to encompass the 1920's up to the present. Most of the men knew each other in WWII, and the setting ranges from the African desert to war ravaged London during the German Blitz.
