@MBB minnows, koi and sharks ...Is it (1) feasible and (2) permissible to live outside of London? Currently based in another UK city (2 hr train to Lon) and would prefer not to relocate due to family. If travelling to client, can you fly from/to another UK airport? I'd be happy using short term accom. for in-office days, and I gather if staffed on a project in London then no accom. claims would be possible. Any experience of you/colleagues doing something similar?
