Where, in Surrey, to have ham with some eggs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egham

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where in surrey' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'have ham with some eggs' is the wordplay.
'have' becomes 'g' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'eggs' is 'e'.
'g'+'ham'='gham'
'gham' put after 'e' is 'EGHAM'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
