My job seekers situation

So I recently signed on in September for the first time in six years. I collected JSA for 2 months then did a 2 month temporary placement and then I've been signed on for a month.
I last signed on Friday in Poole. My work coach said there was an interview at Poole job centre the following Friday.
I came to London on Sunday night seeking work. I am a trained actor so I want to be working in London ideally temping but I have also done a lot of temporary office admin work.
I just don't want to be working a full time job in Poole.
I have been very active in pursuit of work since I have been here.
I am wanting to cancel my interview at Poole job centre in the hope I can find some work here in London.
The problem is I am worried about being sanctioned over not going to this interview. I am also worried that if I don't find work in London soon I will run out of money. In Poole I can live for free out of my parents house. In London I need to be working. Hence I don't want to transfer my claim to London for one week then transfer it back to Poole.
