What does an American citizen have to do to legally attain a right to work/live visa in London, England

What does an American citizen have to do to legally attain a right to work/live visa in London, England?
I have wanted to travel to London forever and am looking for legit answers from people who have lived there that are from North America, and also is it possible to gain dual or full citizenship? I have no criminal record and am in good health.

If you are not married to an EU citizen you pretty much have two options 1 - the most common way for Americans to work in the UK is through the Tier 2 Intercompany Transfer visa. This is where your US employer transfers you to their UK office and sponsors your visa. I personally know Americans working in the UK on the Tier 2 Intercompany visa who work for Goldman Sachs, Disney, Microsoft, Yahoo, Deloitte, CNN, Conde Nast, Loreal, HSBC, etc 2 - Have an occupation found on the Shortage Occupation List http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers/points/sponsoringmigrants/employingmigrants/shortageoccupationlist/ Under Related Documents on the right download the PDF UK Border Agency Shortage Occupation List You would not be eligible for UK citizenship until you had lived legally and continuously in the UK for 6 years -- 5 years to get your permanent residency (ILR) then after another year you can apply for citizenship
