Today, I'm lying awake at 2 in the morning listening to the police helicopter circle my house yet again. I recently moved near quiet woodland to escape the traffic noise that disturbed my sleep. Quiet woodland where apparently the local criminals play midnight hide-and-seek with the police. FML

I'm such a bad sleeper, earplugs and double glazing make little difference. As for finding a new home, I bought this place last year and spent many months renovating it, so the idea of selling up right now after all that is not top of my list. A lot of my neighbours have lived here since the houses were built in the early 1960s, so surely it can't be all that bad?! Although, I hadn't even considered the thought of the forest lurkers breaking in, so thanks for that...

You should really consider moving again. It only takes a few minutes for 'criminals in the woodlands' to become 'criminals in your house'.

I feel like the real estate agent "forgot" to tell you that. Perhaps the woodland wolves will take care of that for you OP!

I hope you have good locks and an alarm system! That doesn't sound like its too great of a neighborhood, OP, maybe consider somewhere a little safer?

Honestly if criminals running round are a common thing in that area the helicopter might be the least of your worries...

Quiet woodland in The City of London?

I'm definitely not in The City of London. Not sure where that came from.
