The great fire of London was started by a man named Thomas Farriner (or Farynor). One night Thomas started the fire to cook the bread and he went upstairs forgetting about the fire.
The Government could not ignore the Great London Smog and so the first Clean Air Act was eventually introduced in 1956, following the Beaver Committee Report. This Act aimed to control domestic sources of smoke pollution by introducing smokeless zones. In these areas, smokeless fuels had to be burnt.n December 4th 1952, however, an anticyclone settled over London. The wind dropped and the air grew damp; a thick fog began to form. The great London smog lasted for five days and led to around four thousand more deaths than usual.
