Iqama is a temporary residence permit for workers. So the best fit is Worker category.

As you are a Pakistani. Your visa office is London by default. You don't need to submit any iqama copy to show eligibility for selecting London as your visa office.

You can apply from anywhere. It doesn't matter. Just make sure you put your present address correctly in your country of residence.
