London Fog (nightclub)

London Fog (nightclub)

The London Fog was a 1960s nightclub located on the Sunset Strip in what was then unincorporated Los Angeles County, California (now in the city of West Hollywood). It is most notable for being the venue where The Doors had their first regular gigs for four months in early 1966 before becoming the house band at the Whisky a Go Go.

The London Fog was located just west of the Whisky a Go Go in part of the space that is now occupied by Duke's Coffee Shop.

Nejman, published in the "Chicago Sun-Times"] Before becoming Duke's, the London Fog was replaced by an upscale bar called "Sneaky Pete's".

In Oliver Stone's 1991 film "The Doors", the scenes depicting the London Fog were actually shot at the location that became the Viper Room in 1993. [ [http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/d/doors.html Filming Locations for "The Doors"] ]
