Steeper approach, Noise
Travelling through Putney, I noticed no difference ( not that I would I suppose ) but what I did notice was that planes overhead were almost silent compared with the noise of road traffic. The MP for the area, Justine Greening, must have had super selective hearing to say that she was deafened by airplane noise.
We live on the 09R flight path where A380 and 787 pass overhead at around 1800ft and it is possible to continue an almost normal conversation. Impossible with BA747 and 777 etc,
