What life is like next to huge roundabout linking London's two busiest roads together

Nobody likes traffic, but imagine if your home was next to one of the buesiest roundabouts in the country, with lots of traffic going past 20 hours a day. That's what it's like living next to Sun in the Sands Roundabout in London.

"It's noisy," reports the first resident we speak to. The second resident explains it's not just noisy, it's actually "really noisy." A third, comically having to raise his voice above the screeching traffic, concurs: "It's definitely noisy."

It's hard to imagine why any of the residents choose to live right on the edge of a roundabout where two of London's busiest roads meet. But once you get over the din rising from the meeting point of the A102 (towards the Blackwall Tunnel), and the A2 (towards Blackheath and Brixton), there are some huge perks to living there, according to residents.
