Join us in conversation with Peter Apps on Tuesday 3 November at 7pm. Pete’s book, Homesick: How Housing Broke London and How to Fix It, traces the emergence of London’s housing crisis over the last 40 years through the stories of a diverse group of Londoners. It offers an important analysis of how the city might be made more affordable for ordinary Londoners.
