The only thing is whether you'd like to have some sort of garage/workshop style room?
Yeah, I have seen these done quite smartly - keep the garage door but move the wall halfway up, so you have a workshop with street access but get a bigger room behind.
Retrofitted garage openings (ie wall plus windows) can look a bit awkward.
If you've got off-street parking you're winning. Especially in London as you never know what will happen. For eg my folks have just lost half* the street parking on their road due to a new cycle highway.
The only thing is whether you'd like to have some sort of garage/workshop style room? Access straight from the street is always better than having to go through the house to a spot in the garden.
*actually 100% of it due to the building works...which have randomly all ceased.
