There is no written distance.

However, you should start at your office and finish there - within duty times.

You should also be paid subsistence, which means fares if by public transport, or mileage if you have the correct business insurance.

What about claiming mileage for doing overtime in a different office after my actual shift has finished?
I get phone calls most days from a couple of offices and sometimes I pop over and do a couple of loops after finishing my round at my own office.
Should I claim for this?

But if you can, you would have to claim from the overtime offices budget, not your own office.
