Perhaps you should find out a lot more about here if your planning to move here, rather than ask questions on websites.
I dont mean to sound rude, but you sound as if your just treating the place as a doss house.
You should really be looking at the proper sites and sorting out the official stuff, rather than asking the general public.
You should also have a plan, not just 'go to London and stay in a hotel'. You should have work setup already.
It just irks me that you seem to think your going to get everything provided for you. Which, your likely to, by me paying my tax.
Its not luck you need, its organisation, research and a lot less complacency.
How can you call yourself a citizen when you know nothing about the place?

London is a VERY expensive city to live in. Try moving to Leeds or Birmingham where the cost of living is much lower.
If you are ill you get subsidised medication from any pharmacy with a doctor's perscription. Most hospital treatments are free.
A passport is a valid form of ID for almost everything in the UK.
You should arrange a UK bank account before you arrive and try to arrange a job of some kind as you will certainly need money as soon as you get here.
Good luck my friend.

Ignore the other bigots on here, Monkeyman gave you the best advice in detail. However just to confirm that you do not need an identification card to live or work in the UK, as long as you have a passport that is all you need. Once you get a job, and there are plently of them in your field of expertise, the company will assist you with registration with the tax authorities ect. Good luck on your new life, BTW i am an Englishman who decided to leave and live abroad, as got fed up with the UK, but hope that you enjoy it.

I dont think you sound prepared enough to move here - you need to find out more and have a plan - can you not, as a British citizen, get work sorted for your arrival rather than look for something once you are here? You also should find out what rights you have re medicines etc before you come here - dont believe that everything is free.

I don't know what you've heard about the UK but the weather is nearly always cold and wet and it is very hard to find work unless you want to go 'door knocking' (selling mobile phone contracts or gas and electricity contracts). The best advice I can give you when you get here is to take the first plane back home!

your passport is your id, if you are ill and not registered with a doctor you can go to your nearest surgery as an emergency and you will be seen.London can be very lonely , you may be better off going elsewhere . Good Luck

Stay in Egypt and find work there, there are enough people hanging around London without you adding to problem.

the UK governement looks after immigrants better than its natives, you'll be better than fine, although don't be surprised if some Britons resent you. But other than that brits can be very tolerant of other nationalities.
