I agree with you. The density of London makes it an awesome tourist attraction. But living there? No, thank you.
I think what would help you getting remote working jobs are
1. knowing people down there, that know you're good/professional/trustable/likable/[insert social-binding characeristic] enough
2. raising the number of people from pragraph 1 by networking or getting down there for like 3 months and do some work.
In my experience its all about knowing people who have worked with you and know that you can deliver. they will hire/recommend you or let you know if they hear anything about new jobs, fitting for you.
If you are working in the same industry, those people will still be in the same industry in years. And if not, you propably won't get any jobs either by then. Plus, people swith employees over the time, so your 'eyes and ears in the field' increase.
