That must have done wonders for the TV reception! I once watched a pair of birds, can't remember what they were, don't think they were pigeons, dismantling an old nest twig by twig and rebuilding it a few trees down 🤣 I suppose it was a handy source of sticks, but it seemed rather pointless given there was a nest already there. Maybe it was in poor condition or something? -
I think probably any area round here will get the plane noise. I'm not sure any level of glazing will entirely shut it out. I have acoustic glass in my bedroom which I was told was what was used in Heathrow offices, but I can still hear planes through it, albeit faintly. That wasn't why I got it though. I was constantly being woken by my neighbours' boiler going on and off all through the night. I think there was something wrong with it. It doesn't happen any more. As regards coming home at night, as with anywhere in London (or indeed most places, I guess!), it's preferable to stick to well lit roads with a few people around, where possible.

How is my post ‘not helpful’ I only quoted yourself. -
Not so much since the speed bumps were introduced. (When the limit was 30 mph). There were no speeding accidents following that. But you're right that speeding, particularly on two wheels, does still occur. And some vehicles do go over 20mph.
