Well, there's about £300 worth of servicing that can't be considered part of the 2yr/15k mile service, so your real cost would've been ~£500, which is okay for London I guess.

My local dealer (Woods) says the 2yr/15k mile service should definitely cost ≤£500, and probably ~£400. I'd be happy with that.

Things like chains, sprockets, brake pads...I'll change these myself as/when they need changing... parts are parts, labour's free.

From a personal point of view, if any of my services were to exceed the £400-500 mark, I'd just do all the servicing myself, because I don't see my bike devaluing by more than that (come part-ex time) just for not having a FDSH, and I'd know the job was done 'right' anyway. Besides, £400-500/yr would be enough to deal with warranty issues myself.
