24 month expense rule

It does depend on where you're coming from.

Back when I lived in Sussex and commuted up the Brighton Main Line (sadly not a euphemism), the difference in time and cost between London Bridge and London Victoria was negligible. However, if you're coming from a different part of the country, the time difference is quite significant and the journey also possibly so.

Similar journey to you. Although instead of to / from LB it's now LV. I'm not sure on the difference in the cost, probably 50 quid more a month, time wise probably an additional 20 mins each way. Not sure if that would be an argument I could use....

I'd say not. Others will disagree.
Down to your attitude to risk.

IMO the extra £600 a year cost and 20 minutes extra is more than enough to deem it substantially different. It's not at all comparable to the usual example of "different workplace, same location" where somebody works at two different offices in the City of London. Refer back to the bridge worker example, where simply a changing of route in order to get to the other side of the bridge is considered substantially different...if that is, then so is yours.
