I‘m an analyst at a BB in London. My gf is from LA and works in London as well. However, she wants to return to the US in a couple of years (nyc/sf/la). My plan is to make the move to PE this year and I‘m in touch with a few headhunters for MFs. What are my chances of being allowed to transfer to a us office if I start working in PE? How much harder would it be compared to remaining at the BB?

Definitely easier at a BB, outside of GS most of them are totally happy to move you around if you're well-liked. Have friends who did a year in London or something, they would be quite flexible about it.
PE firm may be okay with it if you approach it just the right way and have a few years tenure, but some are really anti-internal moves (BX for example)
Why do you say BX is against office move? know someone who moved from NY to London, was this person an exception?
BX is really against internal moves in general, even if you are "downgrading" groups or have a family reason. Very political about it.
Not to say it's impossible, and there are 100% some people doing these moves especially if moving for family reasons or there for a decent amount of time, but it wouldn't be my first choice if you are going into it knowing you want to move shortly.
