Martin Amis provides examples of the following tropes:

• Femme Fatale: Deconstructed in London Fields. Nicola Six sure is very attractive, seductive, and has morally ambiguous motives, but she's also full of self-hate, moral conflicts and unstable self-confidence. Still she enjoys acting this character out.
• Foil: Guy, to Keith, in London Fields. As stated by the author in the chapter he's introduced in's name ("The Foil"), even before the readers get to know his character...
• Lemony Narrator: In London Fields.
• Slice of Life: The ongoing lives of three Londoners take up much of London Fields.
