If you don't mind me asking: how does the visa work for the UK from EU? For a long time now I've had your same idea to move to London (or close by) for a stint, from a different EU country, but then Brexit happened and I had basically given up hope.

Basically, there is no advantage to being from EU on paper. Subjectively, when your papers are processed, it will definitely be faster and less scrutinized.
