^^ This exactly - I work in Kings Cross, wanted to up my fitness and miles so started after work cycling to Richmond Park doing a couple of laps then all the way back to Alexander Palace (home), very quick and effective way to up my distance from a paltry 30-40 miles a week to around 200+, and being that far from home you have no choice to HTFU and keep going, been doing this for about a year and bit now, absolutely love it.
Though wife thinks I'm bonkers still doing it in this weather, but nothing beats that feeling of being shattered but totally rewarded for my efforts - just make sure you wrap up warm nothing worse than being 40 miles from home tired and cold! I can handle tired but cold just saps you!
