Jacob wasn't about to suggest they go anywhere specifically- he doesn't know what is out here, after all. But if Connor wants to go to the village, Jacob will go with him. Maybe it'll be okay, maybe this is the glimpse of home and past he needs. Jacob couldn't do it himself, go back to Crawley, but then again, does he have very many happy memories of the place?

Maybe that is why the room showed him London, with all its opportunity and room to explore, even if he had only just left the real thing.
