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.

I think the small peaceful village provides a contrast of juxtaposition from the abuse he had in London. There is a calmness about Mr. Tom and Little Weirwold compared to the harshness of London.
