a) what mashton said.
b) I'm also in Balham and run down to Elephant on 49:19 (God's own ratio). Stick with it for a few weeks and you'll be fine. I think everyone feels under-geared when first switching to fixed as a result of mashing an overly large gear before. 68 - 70" is just right for around town.
