At a guess...
Moving jobs may necessitate adding considerable time on to a commute from outside London, and likely less if you're already in London (even isolated). You get less choice about the first section of your commute if you're outside London.
Of course you may choose not to go after those jobs, but that means your limiting your possible future employment options in doing so.

Lots of things to weigh up.
I'm slowly slipping South in every sense as family and lifestyle warrant more space.
Crazy how little my London money can afford tho even outside the M25.
I am glad I misspent 10+ years central tho looking back. Not that I miss it now.
I have also managed to find work out of town which ultimately dictates location imo.

It's a cycling forum! You're only isolated if you're solely reliable on public transport, most of us probably commute and/or go out on bikes.
You're not really 'isolated' anywhere within the north circular if you cycle. Not sure what happens below the river.

A serious question after a lot of the talk about different areas on here ... is the reason people would rather stay in London but 'isolated' rather than with a short* commute but not in London a result of train fare prices or something else?
* around 20-30 minutes I'd say
