You would have to make sure you met the NMC's requirments for registration.

Jobs are scarce in the UK as well so finding work will not be particulary easy with our own newly qualified nurses struggling to find jobs also employers have to give priority to UK and EU citizens first

License is not transferable, you need to meet all requirements for the NMC and associate doesn't always meet requirements but all goes on hours. Currently difficult to get a hospital willing to assist with work permit. Lastly London is very expensive to live in (as in really expensive) plus many nurses at the moment have no jobs or struggle to find jobs. Also currently very hard unless you have a UK/EU passport.
