I’ve actually moved recently and I’m now in Ottershaw. The new commute is 14 miles and goes through Addlestone - Weybridge - Walton - Lower Hampton Road etc. It’s a bit up and down but it’s quite doable fixed. I just fancied sometimes having a slightly easier time!
I don’t think I’ve ever actually ridden up Tite Hill! I don’t go up there all that often but it’s a bit of a blind bend going up the hill and the cars coming up the hill tend to be driving a bit unpleasantly. The times I’ve been up there by bike I think I’ve either gone up Middle Hill (which is quieter) or gone the long way round up the A30.

Knowing how strong a rider you are and where you live, I'm wonder where your commute goes for you to need gears at all. I suppose there is Tite Hill (going up to Windsor Great Park from Egham), but it's possible to avoid that one with a simple detour!
