This may seem obvious, but make sure you get paid in POUNDS.

We had an employee (a friend of mine) "start a UK office", and due to
corporate legal reasons, and taxes, etc, he got paid in US DOLLARS.
Aside from even more legal/tax issues he personally had to face, his
salary was almost halved, as 1 USD = 1.9696 GBP !!

The UK is VERY expensive. If I were you, I would do some online research
at the cost of fuel/petrol/gas/whatever you call it, rent, purchasing
homes, taxes (don't they have VAT and GST or something like that?), an
average lunch meal, dinner meal, utilities, car price, etc...
