Yo, I am going to London to look for a job there. The point is that I dont have any experience in work. I have just finished highschool. When I get to the centre of London - what should I do? Search for the job or for a bedroom first? Also where should I search for the best results? Thanks in advance ;)
How much money are you coming with?
600ish pounds

Forgive my Amerikkkan ways, but your choices seem totally backwards to me.
Maybe it's an EU thing. I don't know.
Why the fuck would you not line up a job prior to going to london? Right now you seem very "La de daaa, let me piss away my money floundering around in London staying in hostels and try to get a job as a dish washer or bus boy or manual laborer..it can only take a few days...or weeks."
Line up a fucking job first. Find someone you can stay with on the cheap. Not only will you be safer, but your job will be a hair better than a dish washer
Where are you from? Bulgaria? Another east European shithole?

Why not try to get certified for a profession first? Like plumber or welder. You'll get good job security and money.

Don't even think of leaving home until you have a London flat/room lined up.
London is a VERY BIG city, both in population and geographical sprawl, and you can't just get off a train and pick a place to live without some sense of expensive/cheap and dangerous/safe neighbourhoods.
And London is VERY VERY expensive.Your £600 won't last you a month.
Do some homework. Take a day trip or two to London to get a sense of the city. Talk to some university students, who will have a good sense of where to look and what to pay. And find and book your place to live BEFORE you leave home.
Much the same is true about job-hunting. You can get leads on London jobs just as easily from where you are as after you're there. Remember that the average job hunt takes 5-6 months at least, and you simply do not have the funds to live in London while you're hunting.
All in all, you really haven't thought this out sufficiently.
Line up an apartment before you go, and you'll need about 10k euro banked if you want to make this work. Job hunting can take months.

You're a young lad, so I'll give you some solid advice.
>>17146464. Is pretty much spot on with what he's saying to you. Your 600 pounds wont last you the month. You have no support network there. No job lined up. No shelter lined up. Probably no car, no motorcycle, and maybe just some bikes.
I'm not saying you can't do it, but you're going to seriously compromise on your quality of living and will have to take some seriously shit jobs if you do so.
My friendly advice to you is this : study something that makes you worth hiring. If it's resturant work you want, spend a year in Poland while you watch the shit out of Gordon ramsay clips on youtube. Otherwise, I give this recommendation often: if you have a laptop or desktop, learn the everloving fuck out of MS Office (excel and access primarily ) and quickbooks for business. This will give you an edge when applying for ...say...temp or office work.
Stay in Poland another year. Save your money. Make yourself smart
