Some breaking news on the subject - "The CPS said it had started extradition proceedings."

“May I remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against Anne Sacoolas are now active and that she has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

Re: What for?
The only useful information for them would be to know if there will be any lightning strikes on their path during the following 12-24h, so they can plan ahead and stay at home if needed.
Or consider wearing their "ACME Lightning Protection Suit", with the "Money back guarantee, if not satisfied"

Location
Damned if you don't damned if you do.
The old location IIRC somewhere around Old Street was a bit cramped and in need of some refurbishment - rent would have been a fraction of the new place just round the corner from Liverpool Street station. My first thought when I went to the new place was "can they afford this place...", but the better location and facilities may be what they needed.
Best of luck/hope it works out
