Are you looking to live there permanently or just as an extended stay?
Either way, here is information directly from the UK:
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/

Make sure you save up some money before you head over there as things seem really expensive due to the current exchange rate (once you get settled and find a job it will be better as you will be making money in the same currency, but until then expect to find things at least double what you currently pay, and expect things in centre city London to by about 3 times your normal rate (or approximately double the rate in New York). Also, don't forget your left handed umbrella (gotta keep the right hand open for the pint) and to brush up on the rules of Football (soccer), Rugby (both League and Union), and Cricket (their equivalent to baseball: a fairly slow game that is much better with a beer in hand).

Personally I am biased towards the city of Leeds (or anywhere in Yorkshire for that matter) but most people like the hustle and bustle of London. York is a very nice city as well. I absolutely loved England while I was over there (4 months studying abroad) but think I would miss the US too much.
