Why a full round is realistic in the capital
Demand comes from office workers in Clapham and Islington who are out nine hours a day, plus the creative crowd around Shoreditch and Hackney on irregular schedules. Midday slots fill first, so a tight patch of five or six regulars in one postcode beats clients scattered across zones. A weekend boarding sitter here already out-earns entry-level office salaries; a full weekday walking round points the same way.
