If I were you, I'd go vegi for a while, that will lead you into veganism a lot easier than going in full bore, I was vegi for three years before going vegan, I read up on it a lot and watched shit loads of youtube... I think the main thing is learning to cook a normal meal without having to reach for the meat, it's a learning curve for sure.
One thing is, you're gonna fuck up somewhere along the line, be it in something you haven't checked out in the ingredients, or when you're eating out, hence why I think being vegetarian will lead you into it naturally. The main thing is to enjoy your food, no-one wants to eat crap boring meals, there's no point in doing that at all. Vegan food is a lot bigger than it was 10 years ago, so I think you might find it a tad easier than I did first time round.
London has got some great vegi/vegan restaurants, check out Mildreds down Lexington Road and if you drink, Barnivore will become your best friend as not all alcohol is vegan ;)
Lastly, check out myprotein, who do a whole bunch of vegan protein powders, I'm gonna grab some of their stuff soon as I'm getting back on the fitness wagon again.
