Assuming it is a paid job, I will redirect you to the official art forum request thread
Make sure to read the first post as that is where the instructions to place requests are.

I would like to say though, I don't think there's too many people that want to/can move to London. It's worth a shot, though!

Whilst your post is well thought out, I wouldn't say the art forum is the best place to recruit people. You can either check out the art request thread, make a Blog Post and advertise there, or try your luck in the animation forum.
