    Fulham's Noisiest Streets — And How We Fix Them

    SW6 residents face unique noise challenges from major traffic arteries, bus routes, and hospital traffic. Here's where we've delivered the biggest transformations:

    Wandsworth Bridge Road

    Heavy HGV traffic, buses, and the 24-hour rumble from the bridge approach create sustained low-frequency noise measured at 78–85dB during peak hours.

    Affected postcodes: SW6 2TY, SW6 2TX, SW6 5UA

    New King's Road

    Bus routes 14, 211, and 414 plus delivery vehicles serving local businesses generate constant daytime noise impacting Victorian terraces.

    Affected postcodes: SW6 4RB, SW6 4LY, SW6 4SN

    Fulham Road (SW6 section)

    Chelsea FC match day traffic combined with hospital emergency vehicle sirens from Charing Cross Hospital create unpredictable noise spikes.

    Affected postcodes: SW6 1BY, SW6 5NR, SW6 5SA

    Lillie Road & North End Road

    North End Road market traffic, Earl's Court Exhibition Centre overflow, and Hammersmith flyover rumble affect properties along the SW6/W14 boundary.

    Affected postcodes: SW6 1TR, SW6 1UH, SW6 7PA
