I think the business perspective is this: their rather large St Katherine's Dock store is only minutes away from SE1. I live on Tower Bridge Road and it is a 15 min walk to Waitrose. What's more: you can do a big shop and then ask customer service to deliver it to your house on the same day.
I really think that the location of that store plays a role in their considerations on whether or not to open in SE1.
