Best consulting firms for work-life balance (UK)?

Hi all,

I have had a search through the forum and can't quite find exactly what I am looking for. Obviously, there are many further criteria to take into account (level of pay, prestige, industry focus, promotion opportunities etc) and a lot will depend on project/team, but looking past these, which consulting firms tend to have the best work-life balance? If anyone has any information specific to firms in the UK then this would be much appreciated. It seems to me that the tech/finance firms such as Accenture and Capco aren't too bad, and the big 4 don't seem too bad either, but further information would be great.

Thanks
