Commuting against the traffic can be nice... unless you are happen to be 
on one spoke and your job on the other spoke of the "hub and spoke" 
architecture of the public transport system... then you get the pleasant 
experience of twice the journey.

If you had such an arrangement, then it makes more sense to simply stop 
in the centre and work their, half the journey, more money etc... which 
is why most of us don't generally considering going out again unless the 
job is really great.

This is why I think it really sucks to set up companies outside London 
and people should really be told so. There was a company at the end of 
last year that actually relocated to London because they simply couldn't 
get the talent they needed outside (albeit this was a small company and 
therefore easier to do).
