Its December 1955, and whilst small children watch and wait excitedly for Santa, adult Londoners scurry about their business with a few others enjoying a little fun playing snow balls in Traffalgar Square.

With the world always seemingly in turmoil, let's hope we all can experience a little Christmas cheer and happiness and hope 2024 can be a better year. Merry Christmas Everyone!

I really love the way fog enshrouds and covers us like a blanket, makes my nose pink with cold, erases the river and the city skyline, a blank slate for an imagined new beginning

The Great Smog of London was a severe air pollution event that affected London in December 1952 following a period of unusually cold and still weather. Combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions which collected airborne pollutants mostly arising from the use of coal, it formed a thick layer of smog over the capital. It lasted from Friday 5th December to Tuesday 9th December 1952, resulting in the worst fog London had ever seen. On the 9th December the weather changed and the fog dispersed as quick as it had arrived leaving a devastating aftermath.

A Government medical report in the weeks following the event estimated that up to 4,000 people had died as a direct result of the smog and 100,000 more were made ill suffering from respiratory problems. More recent research suggests that the total number of fatalities was considerably greater, probably around 10,000.
