As a Romanian citizen you have the right to enter the UK, but very limited rights to take employment. The link following contains the basic info you need:

You can set up as self-employed, but you will see that it is recommended to register as soon as possible with HM Revenue & Customs.

You should be able to open a bank account - why not enquire with one of the UK Banks eg HSBC, Barclays, before you leave the US?
