How to get a new bike the right size?

I would imagine you want a Hybrid for that kind of journey.
I have a road bike and a hybrid and use the hybrid for the kind of journeys you mention. Something to consider is when being sized for a hybrid, you generally want one size down to what a racer would be.
So as I am 6ft tall, I ride a 56 road bike, but a 54 hybrid. You would probably be a 58 road bike and 56 hybrid. But sit on one and try it.
Halfords do some very well made Boardman hybrid bikes, which are well worth a look.

I might post a side shot of me on the current bike.
Staggered at the cost of bikes! Last new bike I bought was £79.99.
