Hi tp3, welcome to London
After a Graphic Design/Illustration degree I did the six month post-grad course at St Martins:

My degree was really artistic and creative but the LAS course taught me the things I needed to know to get work. What they'll probably be impressed by most in your portfolio is good life drawing. Being able to draw will get you a long way in Animation.
The Animation world in London is kind of small and a little difficult to break into. Honestly the best way to get work is to make and cultivate contacts.
Good Luck
