Living well in the UK is expensive, especially if you live in London. The company who sent you there should be paying your rent.
Unless you really need a car don't buy one. Rent one for the times you do need one. Most big cities have excellent public transport that's far cheaper and faster than a car.
Food is expensive but the quality of it is fine. My Mother, 80+ and diabetic, moved from LA back to London and the diet here helped her blood sugar levels. US processed food is often packed with sugar.
As for the comment of needing $100k to live in London, there are many places in the US I would hate to live in for less.
