It's certainly not the average commute but there's a fair amount of people who do it. Don't have any statistics by there are several people in my office who do it. If you live close to a train station it's not much of an issue (as long as the trains not on strike). You can easily make it to the office in ~1 hour as most offices in the city are close to one of the train stations. Annual tickets are very expensive but so is living in the city. The major difference to the US is that here in London basically no one commutes by car. Train services are nearly always faster. And it has the advantage that you can use your time more productively.
