Hi There - I'm considering a role in consulting. The role is London based and as some of you may know the commute into London by train is significantly expensive (especially compared to my pre-covid commute by car). So that I can properly consider any offers I may get - can you claim expenses generally when travelling to client site, if that client site is also in London (albeit a different part of London to where your home office).

I bought a second monitor earlier this year which connects to my laptop via the HDMI port. I was at my parents and they dug up an old monitor that doesn’t have an HDMI port, but it seems to have DVI and D-sub ports. Amazon has DVI/D-sub to HDMI adapters, but my issue is that my computer only has 1 HDMI input. What device do I need so I can use both monitors at the same time? I’m seeing HDMI splitters, but some sources say only one screen will work at a time
