EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Weather London Smog December 1962" takes us back to a time when London was engulfed in thick smog, creating an eerie atmosphere. The image captures the struggles of daily life during this period, as traffic crawls along at a mere 2mph amidst the dense fog. It is hard to imagine the frustration and helplessness experienced by those caught in this slow-moving chaos. The photographer responsible for this remarkable shot endured four long hours traveling from Bexley, Kent to Fleet Street just to capture this moment. This emphasizes the severity of the situation and highlights how deeply London was affected by these notorious pea soupers until the mid-60s. The photograph showcases various modes of transportation battling through the hazardous conditions. A moped, Ford Anglia car, and even a bus can be seen cautiously navigating their way through the foggy streets. Each vehicle appears almost ghostly due to their obscured outlines caused by the thick smog. This evocative image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of air pollution control since that time. Thanks to initiatives like the Clean Air Act implemented later on, such intense smogs are now confined solely within history's pages. As we reflect upon this photograph, it prompts us to appreciate our cleaner air today while acknowledging past challenges faced by cities like London during that era.
