Train to Guildford (40 min from Waterloo) then train to Dorking via
the North Downs Line. Dap out at each station and have a wander -
if you're lucky, they'll be cricket at Shalford,

Sundays only? (And on Sundays, watch out for rail replacement buses).

you can drop into
the mill at Gomshall - and Abinger Hammer is lovely.

Yes, that would work. Although I don't call Dorking a village.

There's only one train per hour I think, so the stopping off would have
to be well timed.

Quite interesting to discuss what ticket would be valid for Dorking via
Guildford. (Split at Guildford I think). And with Returns, you'd have to
go back the same way, rather than direct to London Bridge.
