Indeed. I travel to the office less now, but it was my go to bike for most commutes. The toolkit is wonderful - cost off-set as the wife bought it for me as a gift. On my very first ride out with it, one of my EZY wheels came loose while cycling down the Euston Rd 'tunnel'. Most timely gift ever.
On my Brompton I always have lights (fitted in place of the reflectors), the newer Lezyne pump, the toolkit and now an inner tube. Good shout about USB cables - just last Thursday I took a poorly fitting USB micro cable for some backup lights for another bike, but the poor fit meant I couldn't charge them. I might chuck a decent cable in with the inner tube too.

If you use a Brompton for everything, you can tune your everyday carry. I keep an inner tube, a small phone cable, a tenner, and a small foil emergency blanket in the frame, in addition to the expensive but brilliantly designed tool kit. Adds a bit of weight but it addresses a lot of bike-related risks.
