I hear you! Sleep walking is really scary! I just started sleepwalking in the last year!. I'm 47, and as far as I know have never done so before!. I don't even toss and turn at night, but generally sleep in the same position!. But I get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, and have twice now awakened after injuring myself because I had sleep walked to the restroom and then fallen fully asleep and fallen down!
So I know how scary it is, and that it can be dangerous!. Sleepwalking usually occurs due to a lack of sleep, intense emotional problems, stress, or fever!. Generally, as these conditions resolve, the incidents of sleepwalking usually end!. As you mention that they started when you moved to London, I would guess that something concerning the stress involved in moving there may be the trigger!.
Here are some suggestions from emedicinehealth!.com on how to practice "self-care"!. You'll notice these are cures, they're primarily ways to make sure you don't injure yourself until the incidents cease!. You should see a sleep specialist if you're having frequent episodes or injure yourself!.

have you started taking any new meds!? I know that when I started taking methadone for my back pain I started sleep walking and at first it really scared the bejesus outta me!. So I stopped taking those and am back on my normal meds and sleeping normally again!. It could be stress as well because your body is feeling like it needs to be doing something even though you are sleeping!. Before going to bed drink a warm glass of milk read a little and see if just trying to calm down before sleeping helps!. Good luck to ya, Sleep Walking can be scary to the one doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
