Do you plan to move and migrate and eventually stay for good, or move for experience and then go somewhere else? If it was the former, and you plan to get a permanent residency, then eventually a citizenship I would reconsider and find a different European country because of the Brexit uncertainties. In my opinion, it's not worth it anymore since UK has exited from the European !Union, and there is a high probability that you would need a visa traveling to any European and EEA member country (it is almost 4yrs and UK still has no concrete plan how to be on its own). If it was the latter, for experience, go for it! I love London and travelling in parts of the UK. The only problem is its high cost of living, small spaces, and expensive transportation fees. You can do your research so you're prepared when you plan to move. This is coming from my own personal experience (I have lived in Asia, Europe and now US). End of the day it's your life and your decision what you want. 😊

Go for it! Right now though they are on circuit breaker 2 or stay at home for a month if I'm not mistaken. For sure there are available jobs. Good luck! 😊

Check the careers pages for each Big 4. They have UK branches and most of their US expat work is in London. EY UK had US tax jobs open this past summer when I looked, but I didn’t notice that many audit openings. Still worth checking though, maybe they’ve added more.
