My office is 180 miles away from where I live. I don't go there much, and even less so now of course. But, the crucial thing ( apparently ) is that I don't have a desk or other allocated workstation there, ( I just hot desk as the kids say ) so it's ok to claim travelling expenses for the journey. I am categorised and contracted as "field" based. Which sounds vaguely bovine I suppose.
I did once look into claiming expenses incurred for working from home ( I have a permanent office set up in what should be the dining room ) but was advised by an accountant that it might cause problems in the future when selling the house in terms of it being partially categorised as a business premises. So for a few quid a week, it didn't seem worth the ( possible ) hassle.
