What is the setting of Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham?

There are many settings in the novel. Philip moves all around England, lives in Germany for a time, and spends time in Paris. The majority of the novel takes place in London. London serves as a backdrop to Philip's life, first representing a large, lonely town, then becoming more familiar and comfortable. When Philip loses all his money, London suddenly becomes a dark, forbidding place, but quickly returns to its familiar feel as Philip finds himself employment and a place to lay his head at night.
