I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
An average speed camera system was installed in late October 2023. Variable Message Signs were introduced on 4 October 2023, warning of the new 40mph limit, nine weeks ahead of enforcement taking place. Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) enforcement action began on 19 December 2023.
In regard to the installation of signage, this question has been answered in previous FOI requests published on our website. For example, please see the answer to Question 9 of this request (and the other information provided in that response may be of interest to you too):
