European "Tiger Cubs"

Everyone knows what "the best" l/s HFs in the US are: Viking, Lone Pine, Coatue, D1, Darsana, Baupost...etc (I know not all are Tiger cubs, and there are more not on the list) - but there's not much info on WSO on European HFs.

What are the European equivalents? I feel like many quant or MMs also have London offices but most l/s don't so was wondering what their European counterparties would be.
