I live in Australia, and want to go live and work in London is there a site where australians can go and apply for a job in the United Kingdom and get sponsored to work and live there or anything along the lines of that kind of idea. Thank You .

You can live and work in England, you will need a Visa and I'm pretty sure you can live there for up to 2 years, but the second part of your question regarding "Sponsored to work and live there..." I don't think I have ever heard of something like that not unless wherever you work have a branch in London and they can transfer you, but maybe someone else might know something...

While you can get the information from the British High Commission in Canberra (http://ukinaustralia.fco.gov.uk/en/), it's even easier to go into your local travel agent and get them to set it all up for you, including packages to get you your NI number, bank account, and SIM card (saves time doing that before you leave rather than when you get there). I did mine through STA and it cost about $75 for the package, but it was really worth it for peace of mind. Not sure what the prices for the visa are now, but they can explain everything to you. Otherwise the website will walk you through the process. Be sure to check whether you need a working holiday visa, or whether you have UK family that may be able to get you a different (and longer) type of visa.
