Residents of Harmondsworth, under the flight path of Heathrow Airport, enjoyed rare tranquility following the airport's closure caused by a fire at an electrical substation. With over 1,300 flights grounded, local villagers like Andrew Melville and David Page expressed relief from the usual noise pollution. Melville noted this serenity reminded him of the Covid lockdown, allowing villagers to relish nature's sounds. Nonetheless, Page pointed out that living near the airport comes with expected noise, suggesting that newcomers should consider such factors before relocating to the area.

It has gotten rid of all the hire cars that park at the top of the village. While he is enjoying the peace and quiet, Page said people who choose to live in the village should expect some noise.
