European/London HF Landscape

Was curious to know about the HF industry in London. Is it as strong as in the US? On the forums here, I see a lot of talk about the big funds like Bridgewater, Citadel, DEShaw, TwoSigma, Point72 etc. and how they generally have a good rep in the US.

Was wondering how these funds are perceived in Europe? Are they still really strong or do they come out short in terms of rep/culture against their other European focussed competitors like Brevan Howard, MAN Group, Marshall Wace etc.
