Tonnes of flights coming over at the moment, at all hours of the day and night. I've heard vaguely that Heathrow is rejigging its flight paths - so is this it now, the future is an airliner flying over green lanes every 60 seconds for the rest of time? Anyone have any insight?

Check the discussion linked top tags I've added under your post. Justin's post about f;ight paths from a few yeasr back is good. Here's a more up-to-date article.
Personally, I've not noticed any change. Have others?
We’ve always had a lot of flights around us but for the last year we’ve had so many flying extremely low over our flat (top floor maisonette). It’s very noisy and obviously very polluting, along with constant traffic jams l’m finding it all very intrusive.
I am by no means an expert on this, but is it not more likely that the planes are taking off and landing at Stanstead rather then Heathrow ? Where I am, (east of the borough) we seem to get aircraft noise early in the morning but this does change week to week.
Have also noticed more flights over our area in the last year or so compared to other years before covid. They are going to Heathrow. As Hugh says a discission a few years back showed a number of flight paths are available over our part of London. I don't know why the flight path over our area is being used more often than before.
I’ve always thought the amount of aircraft noise we hear is down to the prevailing wind - wind direction dictating the direction of take off and landing, which then dictates where planes stack/queue to land. And/or wind direction influencing how much we hear as they queue above us. But I’ve no evidence for this and done no research…
