I have a 1.5hr commute each morning and night which adds a lot onto my day but I also living in a quiet village and work in central London. Being able to take refuge in the village on evenings and weekends makes the noise in London bearable.
There is also the additional side effect that I have a reasonably large house for the same price that I would have paid for a small room in London.
