I second Sarramkrop's advice. London is a very tough city to survive in at the best of times and it's made doubly harder if you just turn up with nothing.
It might be an idea to see if you can enroll onto a college course here. that'd give you a real sense of focus as well as provide you with a way of meeting people - many of whom will be new to the city themselves and so in roughly the same boat. Magazines such as Floodlight are great for listing all available courses and, in some cases, you could land a room on campus - or at least find people to share with. If you have problems getting floodlight in NI, pm me your current address and I'll post a copy over to you.
It's good that you're feeling able to leave but, as Sarramkrop says, you really do need to plan ahead in order to avoid any possible recurrencies of previous problems. Try and get hold of a copy of the Time Out London for Londoners guide, which provides an excellent over-view of the ins and outs of the city. And needless to say, any further help you need, I, and I'm sure other london-based members, will be more than happy to give you whatever advice we can.
