Finding the right theme

Hello,
I am completely new to Wordpress and I have a few questions. I've purchased a theme on forest theme, I got my license code installed on a server under my url. I have now access to an admin panel. I thought I will find easily the theme I selected, which was the London one, but I can't find it easily, and I don't feel it is right I should redesign it fully myself or pay a freelancer to do that.
I've already checked the theme button but its is not the one I chose.
Could someone tell me what to do? Is there something missing in my installation?
Thank you,
Muriel

If you have installed and activated theme, now you should be able to import "London Design".
1. First make sure you have entered purchase code, so design importer will be active.
2. Go to Appearance-> Design Importer.
3. There if everything is alright with your server configuration you will find "London Design" to import among other desgins.
Here is tutorial showing this process based on our theme, but process is exactly the same
Some things may look different, cause we redesigned it very recently, but it should explain you the process.
Hope that helps.
If not, don't get discouraged, I will try to help you again :-)
With kind regards.
Thanks a lot Air, I cannot believe I didn't scroll down to see all themes...
Now I see them all, I hesitate a bit between a few, I like London display screen, but prefer Osaka menu and would be interested in having the sliders moving after a few seconds without clicking on the dots at the bottom. Is it possible to do that?
Also, do you mind letting me know know if I can use one maintenance theme for display during the creation of my website?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Muriel
Go to the Design Importer and deselect everything except "Import theme settings" : http://nimb.ws/vU7C8x and scroll down to the Osaka demo and import this demo: http://nimb.ws/6MOhcU

With kind regards.
Thank you very much for this information.
I've tried a few things but I don't seem to see London theme fully. This makes me realize I better hire someone to set up my theme with a few customization. I will then be able to update my site with my own content and pictures. Is there any freelancer you can recommend? How much would be a reasonable price?
Also, I am a bit disturbed with the fact I don't seem to have a simple "website under construction" message on my site while building it. Instead, everything I am building is being displayed...
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Muriel
Don't get discouraged! You probably don't need to hire anyone, we should be able to help you. Firstly here is small article explaining how to setup maintenance mode on your site

With kind regards.
