Start me up
sachant que c'est un titre des Stones, et qu'on parle souvent de "start-up" en français aussi, je garderais le titre anglais

if doesn't "refer to " the Stones
but anyone reading "start me up" will think or either the Stones, or Wham, or both - so I do think it is a clever and intentional way of connecting with the reader

: if it is a way of connecting to the british readers, and even if I connect with it, I think it is lost on part of the french lectorate

La Tech City à Londres : la ville/le royaume des start-ups
Une proposition:
La Tech City est le quartier des start-ups, et start me up, même si c'est une référence musicale, peut être opaque pour une partie des lecteurs francophones, donc on peut choisir de ne pas traduire l'allusion musicale mais d'en traduire le sens.C'est ce que je ferais ici mais ce n'est qu'une option.

Discussion
I am not sure if it refers to the Rolling Stones' song or not although I haven't found other possibilities online.
