Yes you can be sent absolutely anywhere but on the other hand you could be in London for a year - that's the consulting career. Talk to your scheduler and facilitators on the training to get yourself staffed if you have a preference, for say, public sector work based in London. My honest advice is to buy a place no matter how small (look at areas like Surrey Quays, Bermondsey, and New Cross) if you can rather than renting - at least you'll be paying a mortgage rather than making a landlord wealthier if you are based away from London. Try HSBC, Halifax and Abbey for mortgages.
