My first job (and current one) is London City based, this was communicated to me during my interview.
I'm from West Sussex so the drive was 1hr 10 on a good day and up to 2 hr's on a bad day, which was still quicker then public transport (
)
My company wants me to be able to report within 45 minutes on standbys so like some of the guy's above I rent an appartment with 2 other F/O's near the airport and drive back to Horsham on my off days.
It works out nicely and i'm very pleased to be in work
I wouldn't turn down any job at the moment even with experience.
