I'm in London and I've got one of these growing in my garden, bought about twenty years ago. I can confirm they are very slow gowers, even with fifteen years in the ground.
Nobody has answered your original question yet, but it would be also useful to know how long you've had the tree and what conditions you're keeping it in before you're given advice on styling it.
Have you any books on bonsai? I'd recommend getting hold of "The Bonsai Survival Manual" by Colin Lewis. It's out-of-print but there's always cheap copies on eBay or Abe. It is aimed at people buying these mass-produced imported trees, explains what is often wrong with them and how they can be improved but also how to make a good choice in the first place.
