I commuted from bow to Croydon for a few months by bike and that wasn't a lot of fun I have to say. Does anyone fancy riding on the A3 from the elephant to Guildford ? Not sure I would.
But the A3 can be avoided. I used from Croydon to Edmonton green 5 days a week. And on the odd occasion cycled once to head office in reading and for training in marlow.
So Guildford might be doable just depends on how comitted you are to do all weathers all year
