I am moving to London shortly on a working visa. Is it possible to open a bank account there with a UK bank when I arrive and do you know the cost?

as far as I know, it is possible. You are however likely to need various forms of ID, including things like your passport and probably also a proof of address in the UK (they may accept something like a rent receipt.)
I don't believe there is any charge for setting up a basic account, though they may not immediately give you an overdraft.
