A deft look at the cause and effect of London's infamous pea-souper fog. Begun with the rise of industrialisation, the density of the fog impacted every element of urban life up until the 1960s. Corton cleverly reveals the anonymous world the fogs created, how they shaped social relations, allowed crime to take place and blurred moral and social boundaries. A fascinating book.
