On the desktop version of the site, the logo says "Information Commissioner's Office" right under it. The mobile version doesn’t. It does say it right at the top of the “About the ICO” page on mobile though.

Always have a contract, even for smaller bits of work. That’s the foundation of a good business relationship. If they have the money to pay, but are ignoring you then escalate from your contact at the company to someone higher in the chain.

As other have noted, it's 20mph, which is pretty common in cities in the UK. In that example even the more major road with two way traffic and a seperated bike lane is 20mph. 30mph is more common in towns. You might see 40mph if going
