To reiterate advice others have shared:The recommended pressure for my bike tires (sic) is 110PSI
110psi is the 'max pressure' specified for the 25mm wide tyres: it is NOT a 'recommended pressure'.
A 52kg rider plus 10kg bike will roughly load the front and rear tyres 28kg and 34kg.
The pressures recommended for the OP's bike, whether it be in London, Edinburgh (did you get the grades?) or wherever, are: front 50psi and rear 65psi. I add 5psi on to all such readings 'for luck' (and to allow for the pump dial's calibration to be 'out'/reading high).
A prudent rider pumps 'up' tyres weekly (butyl tubes) and does a 'thumb check' before every ride (and I'd recommend every (roughly) 100km on a long ride, in case the tyre has picked up a slow puncture). Latex tubes: immediately before every ride.
