Some people do the opposite. Manchester aligned so every time you need to go to London you can expense it.

I do this. Challenging but possible. Definitely a special case. I live near Piccadilly Station and commute for a couple of days weekly.

I save a bunch on rent by not living in London, and spend most of that travelling to London. I - from time to time - am permitted to expense some travel down, which helps.
