Big 4 Regional Audit or London Top 10

I have an offer for a big-4 regional office, but I'm also interviewing for other audit firms including one just outside the big 4 and two others a bit further down the rankings.

In terms of exit opportunities outside of audit, is it worth ignoring the interviews and just taking the big 4 offer? I'm not interested in living in the city where my big 4 offer is based and I'm worried I'd be stuck in a regional office and might have more opportunities at a less well known firm within London.
