That depends on your reason for wanting to move to the UK but in short, you would need either a British passport or a job in the UK before moving there.
It's a bit of a catch 22, but you can't get a work permit without having secured a job, and you can't get a job unless you have the right to work in the country. To have the right to work in the country, you need a work-related visa. More information can be found on our Visas for the UK page. And another useful link here: Check If You Need a UK Visa.
If you're determined to move there, it might be best to consult an immigration lawyer to find out if there are any other options – there aren't really any others as far as I'm aware. One problem is that the UK immigration laws are quite strict and the current government tends towards an anti-immigrant stance.
Is there somewhere specific you'd been thinking of going? If you're flexible on where in the UK you want to live, you could consider the Republic of Ireland, which isn't part of the UK (unlike Northern Ireland, which is). Have a look at our guide here for some info: Moving to Ireland.
Best of luck.
