Does this mean that say a London number could be ported to Cambridge
when someone moves? Would that actually be allowed?
Possible, yes. Allowed? Would depend on the provider of the line in
Cambridge.
They can't usually get out of it, providing it has been a requirement
since 2002-ish :-

If you work your way through the actual definitions in the regulations,
you'll find that "portability" applies *at the same location* as the
original number.
