Re: phones in London

I couldn't find your phone on https://willmyphonework.net/ .

But, looking at https://www.monito.com/en/will-phone-work-in/united-kingdom
and
https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1387086/ATT/EmblemU102AA , 
only bands 1, 8, and 20 may be available.  That means that, although you
may get connectivity, you will likely have less coverage.

You can risk it with your current phone, or, if you buy a modern phone
(burner), you'll have a better coverage.

You could wait until you reach the UK and seeing how things work out and
only buy a burner / disposable phone there if needed; if it were me, this
is what I would do.

Regardless, if you do buy a phone, you'll have to learn how to use that
new phone.
