Hedge Fund Spring Weeks?

Do any hedge funds in London offer spring weeks? I've done quite a bit of research and most firms either don't have an internship program at all or only offer SA positions. There are also some that say something on the lines of "we prefer 2nd year students, but you're welcome to try and apply for the SA positions anyways". Is it worth pursuing? I'm a finance student from a semi-target university.
