I know smog killed loads of people, but thought it was much earlier, during the WW2, so went for the explosion.

Yeah, it's a fun quiz but that question is wrong. You could rephrase it to be "the most famous theatre", but Shakespeare debuted Romeo and Juliet at The Curtain in Shoreditch, and Richard III at The Theatre, also in Shoreditch.

My two years in London paid off, except for 1952 which was a very stupid thing for me to miss. No one ever speaks at Speakers' Corner anymore.
