The Great London Smog of 1952.

Additional info:
Due to the worsening conditions, public outcry grew so intense that Queen Elizabeth was compelled to convene an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who faced widespread blame for the crisis. Rumors circulated that the Queen intended to remove him from office, but before any action could be taken, the smog unexpectedly lifted.
