Since immigration is such a long, complex and expensive process, going where you have citizenship first makes perfect sense. I am personally biased against London and I believe it is a vastly overrated bubble, and I much prefer small cities and large towns. Rural areas can also be, unexpectedly, much easier places to make friendships if you are ok with picking up volunteering, and would be much more comfortable and picturesque than London. I'm assuming at your age you're not doing late-night entertainment frequently - in that case you can live a fairly long way out of London and still make good use of it. You can be 50 minutes from London Bridge and live surrounded by green fields. For the longer term, Australian state capital cities are probably the most liveable locations in the world. There is little demand for apartments, so small-space urban living is comparatively affordable.
