I had my c90 done at https://www.nationalemissionstestcentre.com/ I think it was £175 for the test and nothing else was required. I asked about another bike recently and they quoted £150 to sort out the carbs and then the £175 test. They sort it while you wait.
They’re pretty quick to get back if you tell them the details of the bike.A k75 rt is a big lump in traffic, I had a k1100rt and it was a horrible bike - worst bike I’ve ever owned, particularly in traffic so I’m a bit biased ( although I’ve owned three other BMWs which were all great (and all boxers) and a k1100rs at work).
IMHO, riding a lot of the roads in Sw London, it’ll be a terrible commuter, they’re just too bulky. Ok if you’re riding up and down from Bristol though.

K75 clutch shouldn't be too heavy, change the cable would be a good start, £30 and an hour of faff and should be golden.
RT to commute through London on though ? Too bulky for me, it did for my 1150GS, I'd lose the fairing and panniers and stuff and ride it naked.
Lovely engine that though, smooth and sweet. -
My ULEZ fix is to have a lock and chain obscuring my plate. Works for bus lane and speed cameras too. A fine and no points if the worst happens. Looks accidental, unlike a plate at the wrong angle.

My nephew passed his test last week and bought a 1992 k75 RT the next day .
He rode it up to London from Bristol yesterday as he starts a new emergency service job Monday , battery packed in , new battery today and it runs so much better but the clutch is so heavy .
He was on the way to a ULEZ compliance fix as it’s non compliant, anyone know what’s involved and an idea of the cost to make it compliant ?
I’m not convinced it’s worth it
