Should I relocate to London this summer?

Hey guys, I will be intern in a bb this summer in London, and I am studying and living in Europe. 

I think we are 99% to intern online this summer, do you think I should relocate to London then? If I just stay in my city,

pros: I don't need to apply for a visa, which is troublesome.

cons: i am a little worried about the taxes and banking card(whether I can apply for a UK banking card totally online), etc

Please let me know whether you have the similar situations and what are your considerations?

I actually thought 99% sure too it’ll all be online however my firm and heard quite a few others will actually be having people in. Most places weren’t too pleased about the online environment of internships last summer so I honestly wouldn’t completely rule it out like i’ve seen people do on previous posts about it. London is a beautiful place and you could probably get somewhere for a price that isn’t going to affect your wallet all that much.

 

does that mean everyone needs to be based in the UK? I heard that some guys did the internship totally online in other European countries
