You don't have to live in London to work in London. I have been in the London area for 25 years now, ever since I left home in East Yorkshire. I spent a few years living right in the centre which was great fun, no regrets, but cramped and expensive. The last 10 years or so I've been living either in the suburbs just inside the M25 or the greenbelt semi-countryside just outside the M25. The former is about 45 minutes commute if you live near a tube stattion, the latter about 1-1.5 hours commute by train.
A great advantage of living where I do now (just outside the M25 near to Heathrow) is that it's commutable into London, easy access to the airport and 1-2 hours driving to the Thames Valley & Midlands, nicely covering about 90% of the tech jobs landscape in the UK. Although I am a Yorkshireman at heart (cue Monty Python sketch) I have never once regretted leaving Yorkshire to work down South, and it's only 3-4 hours drive to visit Yorkshire. Go for it.
