You need to talk to the British foreign authorities, not us. They are the ones who decide who gets into the UK and who doesn't.

Generally, single Russian women have a really hard time getting visas to western countries. Let us just say, that they have a rather tarnished reputation.

Good luck.

It depends a bit: a friend of mine travels on her own to the UK, Finland, Italy quite often and she mostly doesn't face any problems getting (tourist) visa. Staying for an extended amount of time might be harder. Maybe user WayToRussia (Dmitri) can tell you something more on UK issues: he lives there for at least a part of the time.
