I would just give it a try and see. Find an area/town you like and then visit all the temp agencies. You may find that you can get a temporary job which would give you experience in the English job market but could also lead to a permanent job if that's what you want. I know your work is a bit specialised but depends on what you want. Wish you all the best!
As far as jobs go, the agency suggestion is a good one. Also, and I hope this doesn't annoy anyone from outside London, yes, the economy is pretty messed up but there are always more job opportunities in and around London, especially in IT, of course it depends on what you do in IT. There's also a strong cluster of IT companies up Cambridge way.
London is also very expensive to live in.
Good luck with it. As someone else said, don't expect too much, enjoy the adventure and see where you end up!

Despite what I have said previously about the employment situation (which is true and probably better that you know before you leave) the UK for the most part is a very safe place to travel. I'm sure you will meet a lot of interesting people on your travels, and there are a lot of great people in this club who I'm sure will be only too willing to help you along the way. Please don't let the employment thing put you off. You may be lucky, if not then look at it as just a good chance for a holiday.
The British countryside is beautiful, with many great places to stay. The inner cities are probably best avoided with regards to places to sleep for the night in the van, but are probably your best chance to find work.
So i'm in gillingham, kent, since three days now...no one told me english people drive like in "fast and furious", i was damn scare on my first trip from dover to gillingham, thanks the spririts it wasn't far.

Hey Munchkin,
39 pounds, just to have access to a map of camping site it's kind of a joke for me,plus knowing that i have to give more money at the camper site owner
or i'm wrong ?
Nadia,
I have recently been working in Hove next to Brighton and have found a place you can stay for free right by the sea. I have had so many nice nights sleep staying in this place and if you would like to know where it is I will be happy to tell you.
