Nobody has any information for me?

Anything would be helpful

Hi Michael,

As you are a British citizen you will not require any work visa so that make things more easy for you !
My advice would be:
Before moving to England save as much money as possible as you will need it, London is very expensive !
Get your British passport if you do not have one (you will need to use it when you will enter the UK, do not enter on your American passport !)
Research the type of jobs that are currently available and create a CV (do a search on google to see how CV are done here in the UK).  There is no point applying for jobs until you are in the UK as most employers will not be interested.
Bring all your documentation with you, you may require this later (things like Education records/certificate, birth certificate, etc..) and sort out anything that you need to do before you go (taxes, etc..)
Next thing is accomodation: the easiest would be to stay with a friend/family until you find a job. If this is not possible you could book either a hotel room or youth hostel for a few weeks then once here, you could try to find a room (to share).
You will not have any help from the government as you have been out of the UK for too long so it is up to you to find work and pay for accomodation.
Once you find work you will need a NIN (National Insurance Number). It might be difficult for you to open a bank account until you have a job and you will not ne able to get any credit cards for a while so it is better to have one from the USA before you leave.
I hope this helps a bit?
