Work permit for HF role in London

Currently looking to move from a Canada-based L/S HF to a UK seat in another HF (will start looking for the seat - got some intros there already). 6yrs of exp, healthcare-focused. Flipside is that I'm from HK, so I will need a work visa. Would avoid Mfin/MBA there at first as I think I'm well positioned given my firm's name and my track record.

Has anybody here managed to get it in a similar move? How easy is that from the employer's perspective and how long does it take for the visa to be approved?
