He’s right—I visited Windsor Castle in 2016, and planes from Heathrow fly over it about once every 5 minutes. It’s incredibly noisy and oddly ghetto. Even though there was a SOLID SILVER TABLE in there which was the both the most grotesque and beautiful piece of furniture ever. I wouldn’t want to live there either—never buy in an area with an “unfixable defect”—which in this case is noise. It’s like buying a home right by the freeway.
But my trip to London was amazing—I recommend it to all of you! The Tower of London, the Churchill War Rooms, the Victoria and Albert museum, Buckingham Palace (we toured inside), the cathedrals—I loved it all.
Same here but 20 or so years earlier. The London part. I didn’t get out to Windsor.

Soundproofing has been around for over a century now and can be applied to structures like Windsor Castle. And a lot of interstates in urban and suburban areas have noise barriers these days. Hardly an “unfixable defect”.
