Peter Townsend conducted a study of poverty in London in the 1980s, using a relative rather than absolute measure of deprivation. It is striking to note that he estimated a similar percentage of the population to be living in poverty as Booth has a century before. Townsend identified twelve indicators of relative deprivation, including going without a week’s holiday within the past year, going without a cooked meal in the past week, living in housing with serious structural defects, and lacking exclusive access to a toilet, bath or shower. 751-753
