Wouldn't you just be a teeny bit frightened that a lorry might come through your bedroom ceiling? Even if you could sleep for all the noise. (Not sure if this is W10 or W12?)

Begun in 1964, the Westway was conceived as a solution to congestion caused by the absence of a link between central London and the interwar Western Avenue...

The Greater London Council forced this state-of-the-art highway through the North Kensington area amidst allegations of Soviet-style disregard for the effects on the local population. Angry protests greeted Michael Heseltine, then Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Transport, when he opened the Westway in July 1970, and the GLC was forced to rehouse some residents living adjacent to the road.
