Good Night Mr Tom

The story takes place in the village of Little Weirwold, England. This sleepy village, a few hours outside of London, is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. The village includes a church, main street of shops, and residences spread over the countryside.

Additionally, the Deptford area of London is briefly mentioned. It is the dirty, slum-like neighborhood where William lives before moving with Tom. He also lives here during an ill fated return visit.
