Answer:
I am a US citizen, my hubby is English. I have already looked in to this. Yes, you need to apply for a permanent residency over there. To able to work, you will have to obtain residency. Work/Permanent Visa.

Good Luck. I am considering to move to London. I love London!
God almighty why would you want to do that? London is a hellhole. At least move out to the countryside.
First get your passport if you dont have one. Then a Visa-
After arrival and you see sticker shock on rent---buying a house, medical costs, 7.00 gallon for gas, etc. you might have seconds thought. If you are highly trained with a medical or engr. background you might find it easy to get a job. If routine employment, that might be tough. I would spend at least a month there to decide if I really wanted to move there.
Many advantages for those born there and who have connections. Many problems for others. good luck
