Narrative:
Turkish Airlines flight TK-1932 from London Heathrow to Istanbul, was climbing out of Heathrow's runway 09R when the crew stopped the climb at FL080 and entered a hold while working on a problem with the cabin pressurization. The aircraft subsequently returned to Heathrow for a safe landing on runway 09L about 45 minutes after departure.

A passenger reported the crew announced they had a cabin pressure problem and could not climb to cruise level. The aircraft remained at London for 26 hours before the issue was repaired and the aircraft returned to service.
