I’ve worked on shoots in major London train stations and if you’d asked anyone (management, the council, coppers, the public) for everyone to stop making announcements or talking on their phone or doing any one of a thousand other noisy things they would have (rightly) treated you like a crackpot.

I worked on a commercial shooting near-ish to a major airport. We couldn’t hear any major traffic from our location or anything, but there was a fairly consistent amount of low planes coming by which resulted in a few semi-borked takes. The director at one point, who was the biggest asshole I ever worked with (couldn’t stop talking about his work with NASA, which, tbh, was pretty cool, but he was a cockhead) turned to our AD and said “anything we can do about that?”
