Welcome to the UK! I find the best bet is to have a variety of layers for different weather and mix and match as needed. The weather here is rarely particularly extreme but it's quite changeable so a few layers that you can take off or put on are a better bet than a single warm layer.
Have a look at at the Albion Burner, it provides a surprising amount of warmth and packs up absolutely tiny to fit in a pocket if you warm up mid-ride.
Neoprene overshoes are handy to have as well, even with full mudguards. Combine with waterproof socks for ultimate dry footed comfort.

Hey yall,
This is going to be my first winter commuting in uk. Coming from Florida (very hot)
Kind of want to know what jacket/gloves \pants you guys get.
I have a friend that works in sports direct and can get me a 30% discount so if anything from there is good, then I'll get it from there.
Good news is I gave showers at my job.
