Default Looking for a job in London before arrival

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to move to London as soon as august and I'm wondering if it is advisable to start looking for a job before getting to there.

I currently live in Brazil, but as I'm a European citizen I don't have any trouble to live and work in UK.

Should I start sending CVs and applying for jobs online even if I'm not there?

If so, should I explain in the cover letter my European citizenship status and the fact that I'm not there yet but I'm planning to go in August?

And how about calling the employers using an UK Skype number? Would they be upset when they found out that I'm not there yet?

I thank you all in advance and hope to hear anyone who can give me an useful advise.

Cheers
