you've already answered your own question - it's difficult to get a job until you come here.

even if you were offered a job, you won't get paid until you've worked up to a week or even up to a month until you get your first pay. unless you can stay for free on a friend's sofa, you will have to pay for accommodation when you arrive. So you will start in arrears.

out of curiosity, why would you want to accept a job with a line manager you've never met in a place you've never seen?

you could try here; www.lakesliveinjobs.co.uk

I work in a hotel and we've used them, they charge the hotel a commission, and only deal with hotels that give jobs with accomodation.

its in the north of england though, but you could always move to london in a few months when you have money saved

you're welcome, the lake district is a very quiet place. in village called Grasmere and the Nearest town Ambleside there are a lot of Polish people too so you should find it very easy to find something to chat about in the pub Very Happy
