Is it possible to do an Imperial Business School MSc without living in London?

Hi everyone. I've been admitted to an MSc programme at Imperial Business School and wanted to ask: is it realistic to not live in London and only come in for assessments?

During my undergraduate degree at a UK university, attendance technically wasn't enforced, lectures and materials were all uploaded online, assessments were either online or during exam season, and I could get good grades without ever showing up in person. Attendance was officially "mandatory" there too, and I'd occasionally get reminder emails, but nothing ever really happened if I skipped it. That said, like most students, I'd sometimes forget to check in for lectures, but I actually did attend them.

I'm genuinely trying to live in London, but I'm struggling a lot with finding accommodation and affording it. I really want to complete this degree, so I'm wondering whether Imperial's MSc works the same way, i.e. whether it's actually possible to skip most in-person attendance and still finish the programme and get the degree, despite attendance being listed as mandatory.
