Why is London called the foggy city?

Before the 1960s, most people in Dunham used coal as household fuel, which caused a lot of smog and chaos. Although the street lamp is on, the visibility is still poor, and you can't see anything beyond 10 meter clearly. I always feel that my eyes are blurred in front of people. Since then, London has been called the foggy city.
