Career advice London: Big 4 for 3 years or off-cycle internship in European office and masters

Hi, I am graduating this year from LSE and have an offer for audit in London. I know this is something I don't want to do and would like to get into IB. I currently have a 6 month off-cycle internship offer at an EB in a European office (very low chances of getting a return offer for London), however my goal is to stay in London also due to personal reasons (girlfriend). If my goal is to do IB in London, is doing the internship and then a master's going to set me up better for IB or doing audit and trying to transition into deal advisory?
