I undid your edit as that contradicts the wp:article title. If it should be something other than "Great Smog of London", the article title should be changed. The name of the article should be per wp:COMMONNAME, which I would be imagine could generate a lot of argument civilized discussion. Personally, I have no opinion on what the name should be. I opened a new thread on talk:Great Smog of London#Great Smog, Smoke, or Fog. London or 1952. I did a rudimentary Google search which suggest (not really sufficient to support the current article title name) "Great Smog of London". If you which it changed, you should supply wp:reliable sources (RS) supporting your change. See wp:talk page guidelines. You could also be wp:BOLD and change the wp:article title, but please follow wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. If you added RS to a new talk page thread supporting your change, it would be more likely to remain. I would recommend adding your RS and reasoning thread to the talk page first, then do your article change and add "See talk" to the wp:edit summary. I hope this is not too confusing. You can get help at the wp:teahouse. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:10, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
I should mention that what a government group calls something is often not what most people use. Kind of like the US military referring to civilian deaths as "collateral damage". Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
