I thought you just bought a moped, or is that just for looking at?

For that money you will not find much better than the Ribble 7005 Winter training bike, it comes with various groupsets but there is a campagnolo equipped one for £599. I have had one of these for my winter training bike for 4 years and they are bullet proof, they also come with mudguards. See here

It is the Ribble 7005 Winter Training/Audax Veloce Silver 10 you want. Possible go for a compact chanset if you live in a hilly area.
Obviously this would only be any good for riding on the road. Is the reason you have to use Evans is for the Cycle to Work Scheme?? If so, I understand that you can use other stores if work give permission and Halfords can order virtually any bike from anywhere!

i just got one of these:
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/charge/plug-2008-road-bike-ec000233
it's got a fixed and a freewheel cog on the back wheel so you can try the fixed thing or can use it as a single speed..
i've done both so far and have liked them both..
you really don't need gears to commute in london - it's faster without them with all the traffic lights and stopping and starting
and it's less to go wrong / maintain and there are fewer expensive components to replace..
otherwise i'd just go for a hybrid, like:
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cannondale/bad-boy-single-2008-hybrid-bike-ec000109
is pretty sweet and the lefty fork is awesome
