My tech team is made up of people from across the uk and europe. It would be almost impossible for us to be in a single office on a regular basis. We are composed like this because of the talent available remotely. If we were limited to a london office, our pool of talent would be equally limited.
Having an office in a specific city and only employing people within a commutable distance seems bizarre in 2025.
teams + slack = a remote workforce of top talent
