MBB: Starting your career in London

Italian guy looking to break into management consulting and targeting M/B/B to start my career. All three firms have offices in Milan, but I'd rather start my career elsewhere, possibly London or UAE. While Dubai seems feasible for an Italian that comes from a target uni, I heard that London offices almost exclusively recruit native speakers from Oxbridge. Since I'm considering attending a masters in the UK, I'd like to have some insight on this in order to take a more informed decision
