Lucky few: Commuters squished into a bus during the London Tube strike. The 250,000 people who work in inner London's digital economy who are less tied to a daily commute than most employees were less affected.

LONDON: For tech-sector workers like Chris McClelland, whose job only requires a laptop, a WiFi connection and maybe a coffee, London's underground rail strike has had little impact. 

A London-based employee for San Francisco-based startup Planet Labs, McClelland is one of an estimated 250,000 people who work in inner London's digital economy and who are less tied to a daily commute than most employees.
