I agree with the others -- if you land at 11 AM, I'd have your friend waiting at noon - unless you plan to get lunch at the airport before he arrives.
I also agree on the pay as you go phone plan. If you want a phone while you are there, have your friend ask around to see if anyone has an old phone you can borrow...then once you arrive, you can take the phone to any phone store (there are lots of them all over) and get a pay as you go sim card. It'll be way cheaper. Load £10 on it and you'll be good to go. If there are no extra phones, you can buy a cheapo one for less than your US carrier will charge for a loaner phone, etc.
