Why is 'got' placed in the beginning of the sentence? Is there any subject or auxiliary verb omitted before 'got'?

Yes, there is a subject and a verb omitted before "got" here. "I have" is omitted before "got". So the full sentence should be "I have got my eyes on a nicer place in central London." This is omitted because "I have" is already implied with the word "got" and the pronoun "my".
