when you meet people things just move along smoother.
Personally I don't really agree, after working from home on some pretty large projects with colleagues based all over the country.
I wouldn't give up the freedom of home working now. It helps working for a company very open to home working, no set hours etc etc.
I'd caveat it as "meeting competent people moves things along smoother, regardless of where they are based".

I find the UK custom to announce pay range somewhat curious. You are worth what you can negotiate. In my local market the pay is always solved case by case basis. I've hired several people in IT sector and it is never straight-forward discussion. Your current pay, poker face and acuteness of resource need all come to play. Also I've decided to not apply for roles that clearly where expecting too much for too little money.
I would love to work for Rapha. I think coming into the office and soking up the life style would be a perk. Having spent the whole Corona-period stuck at home the last 6 months at the office has been amazing. Sometimes working from the bike shed is alright, but like it was said when you meet people things just move along smoother.
The only thing I would criticize is the specific technologies required. Most often if you know one CI/CD tool you can pretty much adapt to any other product without much of a learning curve.
