If you use high-frequency algorithmic trading it's better to get VPS in London. If you trade on large timeframes - your latency is ok as far as you don't have connectivity issues (i mean if your internet connection is good enough).
For manual trading I guess it's ok, anyway VPS will not help you for this.

Hi,
167ms is rather high latency to the server. The best way to bring down the latency is to use a VPS server in London. You then can run cTrader and cAlgo from the server directly. You also will have a remote connection from your own computer to the VPS server.
This will bring down the latency, in some cases under 5ms. A big plus using a VPS server is it runs 24/7 and therefore can execute robot instructions even if your own internet connection goes down.
