If you were thinking of moving here but not studying that will be a little harder to start with but still possible - could you stay with your friend while sorting out somewhere to stay (try loot and timeout for flatshares) and a job? London is costly and if you aren't working you may need a guarantor before you can rent somewhere. Then there is a deposit (one month to 6 weeks rent) plus one month's rent in advance and the possibility of an extortionate referencing fee. Not trying to put you off, just prepare you.
If you really want to move here then do so, but be financially prepared or it will be no fun at all
