There is no reason why the Trustees should just be from London, or England, or Berlin. I believe UK charities can have appoint Trustees who live outside the UK. I will check on this. But the majority would have to UK residents.
I am a Trustee (board member) of Creative Commons International, which is a UK Charity. To my knowledge, the majority of trustees on this board are not UK residents. So there may be no such legal requirement.
Now, of course, given the purpose and meaning of "Wikimedia UK" it would be unnatural to have Trustees who are not either resident in the UK or have some close personal connection to the UK (for example, Angela, who happens to currently live in Berlin, but couldn't _possibly_ be more English if she tried). But this will of course happen naturally enough and so I see no reason to take special precautions in this area.
