This isn't a novel, but I have used it in my Britain 1870-1990s
course. Paul Theroux's 1983 _Kingdom by the Sea_ recounts his journey
around the British coast, meeting people, talking about Thatcher and the
Falklands war, etc. Though he's an American, he does convey a lot about
British society in the 1980s, and the book is very entertaining and easy
for students.
Also, you might look at something by David Lodge.
