My wife did this, about 6 months of digging up roads in central London. Would recommend. AMA.

How long did it take to complete? Central London seems like high density, how many users do you have? Can you share website, I can forward to some central London folks!

Less than 12 months from incorporating a company to go live, about 6 months of that was road works.

Low hundreds of homes (so low probability that you know anyone there, and if you do they have already heard about it).
