Applying sooner probably wouldn't solve this problem, so I'm not judging!

I definitely understand where you're coming from, but unfortunately, UKBA's not allowing much leeway at the moment. The climate right now wrt immigration is such that they're very much playing by the rules as set by the Government, even if those rules are problematic, expensive, and make people's lives difficult. (I don't have an opinion on this or anything.) I can also tell you that they're currently behind on processing applications, from what I hear, so you would possibly be stranded Stateside for a while.

Anyway, the best idea I can suggest is to have a word with the international students office at UCL (in person would be best) and let them know the situation. They may be able to amend the start date of your course for you in some way or provide you with some sort of guidance that's specifically tailored to your situation...you can't be the only one in this place.
