It comes and goes for us. The flight paths vary depending on conditions.


Have you seen these sites?

I see after having a hunt around I can see this an exhausted topic! Had no idea, never noticed it before certainly not in our new flat so wanted check if it was a new thing, bit annoying. (particularly last night)


They must vary the paths so thats the first time we noticed,

Totally agree... I lived in Kew for 20 yrs and that's where you get proper aircraft noise... sick of this pointless bleeting about flight paths etc

The planes seemed particularly noisy and particularly early this morning!


Did you not see that op apologised for duplicating the topic Dog duck? If you think another thread "bleeting (sic) about flight paths" is pointless then why did you click on it? Presumably just so that you could have a go at someone who has inadvertently committed an EDF faux pas?


You know that Admin will lounge or lock the thread sooner or later.

The first lovely lovely evening of spring, and the question in my mind is whether it is reasonable or unreasonable to have zero respite from plane noise, whatever time of day it occurs? I thought 20 planes an hour were the max allowed but they have been going over constantly this evening. Did anyone else notice this?


Airport decisions are highly commercial, and political, as far as I can see. It's not bleating it is about reasonable decisions. I was driven inside.


PS I searched EDF on 'plane' and this was the first thread that came up, happy to get redirected to a link and I might learn how flight paths & frequency can occur like this evening.

Hi KirstyH,

If the noise troubles you then please consider joining HACAN who campaign to reduce the noise impact of Heathrow and HACAN East who campaign against the noisei mpact of London City Airport.


And the balance between all interested parties in when, where and how noisy planes fly over us is entirely political.

This thread seems a bit - well, lifeless. While there has been plenty of sniping about previous extensive threads on the subject of aircraft noise (which helps me get back to sleep so I can't see what the fuss is about anyway), the discussion is lacking a bit of oomph. Maybe some reference to, I don't know, newbies perhaps, or blow-ins. Where have you gone dear Louisa? East Dulwich turns its lonely eyes to you...

I was surprised to find threads on aircraft noise as its never bothered me before (after 9 years in ED) but I was woken up this morning by a low flying aircraft at 6.15 and then there was a succession of them so I thought I'd see if anyone else noticed a particular problem this morning?

How do airports choose and get approval for their routing. Agree of course they need to fly somewhere. On what basis are these routes authorised. I did see some passing statement in a Dulwich Society email that City Airport's routing had recently changed without any announcements and that this was to be investigated. Not seen anything since tho.

Couldn't agree more. There are much more pressing things to worry about.

Well because it's a forum, where people comment on things etc.

Perhaps the people here complaining about anyone wanting to discuss the noise (again) should draw up a list of things we are allowed to talk or not talk about with others living locally. Would that make things easier? Or perhaps if you don't want to discuss aircraft noise you should just not click on the link and let the rest of us get on with it.


I've often wanted to discuss the aircraft noise on here but know it is pointless with others trying to derail the conversation just because the noise isn't a problem to them (well good for you) or they clearly have more important things to talk about.

Well on occasion (Quite regularly) they do literally fly directly over my house.


If I'm indoors and the windows are closed I don't hear them. 'Double Glazing'


The only time they ever wake me up is in the summer if I leave my bedroom window open.

That is Very rarely.

Of course you're allowed to complain about it, just as others are allowed to comment that it isn't a problem.

I saw a plane yesterday flying what I perceived as really low (could make out the windows); maybe a flight path has changed bringing the planes lower and making them louder. I have new double glazing in my bathroom And could still hear the planes at 6am this morning...

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
