The aircraft noise got worse on Sunday - deafening - so I emailed the Heathrow complaints website (again).

This time I got a free number for the public relations department.

So I am going to give them a call and have a chat in the garden next time the 'Motorway in the Sky' in at full volume! They can have listen to what have to put up with then.


Fasten your seat belts!

You don't need triangulation to find out the altitude of planes: just go to flightradar24.com and you can see a live feed of every passenger plane passing over London (or indeed over anywhere in the world).


Just click on an individual plane and you can see altitude, speed, origin, destination and more.

Yes I have indeed noticed the increase in air traffic. We moved to East Dulwich in November and were really happy that it was so much quieter but since a month or so it is very noisy as of 5.30 in the morning. This is due to changes at city airport:

Ah, the seasonal plane noise thread - people often believe plane noise is louder around this time of year as people often have their windows open. Another reason they may be slightly lower at the moment is because of the low cloud cover we have. I invested in a white noise machine to use at night and never get woken up even when window is wide open.

Dulwich61,


Yes, the noise really started up around the early 90s, before that it was a quiet area (from 1980 onwards as far as I know) with hardly any flights at all. There used to be just one very loud Concorde flight around 5.00pm everyday and that was loud!

Interesting about the height, which isn't much. Watch out for the big airliners dumping fuel on a clear day and consider where that all goes. Also, there was some very interesting emissions figures for airliners in the papers recently. It seems that an average plane dumps around 1 kilo (!) of CO2 into the air flying just I mile over our heads, plus of course all the other gases and particulants - so pretty bad stuff.

Oh come on - I'm no fan of air travel and haven't been on an aeroplane since 2002 for environmental reasons, but they don't dump fuel over London, they only ever do so in an emergency - when they have to return to a base and would be too heavy to land - and then out at sea, if they were dropping it on London we'd really, really know about it.

Planes aren't a problem to you/where you live hat is.


So much local variation in the noise levels. Have moved just 10 mins walk from my old house where the noise was pretty bad. In new location hardly notice them.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
