I got my old 125 through (Varadero XL125, so on the bigger end at least for its engine size) - no idea how wide the front door was, mind.
If you had a friend to help, sure you could wiggle the bars on a good few bigger bikes to get things to fit.

My gut says no.
However, once you remove the handlebars and wheels (maybe the fork legs I think with a mate you could move it anywhere. All of that can be built, positioned, then temporarily removed for the journey outside.
The handlebars don't need disassembly - just wrap the tank with a towel, lift and rotate bars, then strap to tank for the journey.

Ducati 748 with OEM bars is 27” wide
Most common size for a UK door is 30”
Put a small pice of cardboard down where the kink is to see if you can slide it laterally when you get to that bit.Good luck, should be mostly doable by sitting on the thing and walking it along with a mate behind to help slide the rear across.

It's not easy and weighing around 200kgs it can go wrong pretty fast. Are you thinking about getting it downstairs too?

My dad was taking his Honda CMX500 in and out his workshop through a standard size house door.
He was able to run the engine to drive it up a small ramp and through the door, will you be able to have it running or will you need space to stand beside it and push/manoeuvre it?

May be difficult to gauge this, but does a standard-ish size bike (Ducati 748 - XR250) fit through the front door of your London home?
I have a spare room downstairs that I use as a workshop/store bicycles in, and I wouldn't mind taking on a winter project if I can fit it through the front door and round the kink in the hallway.
Ideally fully built up, as It'd be nice to continue to use that room as a parking space once the project is finished.
Depends how wide the door is - door is the standard size in Hackney terrace houses, not wide not narrow.
