Best Euro Master's Programs for IB/FO?

Was wondering if anyone could speak to the top programs for breaking into FO roles in London, ideally IB.

Is there a comprehensive list? My undergraduate degree is from a target university (G5) but my grades are not looking too hot (2:1 upper 2nd). Non-quantitive (history major) so I'm not eligible for MSc Economics and in most cases MSc Finance because I lack the pre-requisites. While eligible for some it looks like I must look for MSc in Management or similar.

I have prior work experience in corporate finance and transaction advisory services at a big 4 in LDN, so think I can swing a good role given I'm in a solid program.. also considering strategy consulting roles in case IB is a reach. I have a US citizenship but would like to work in the UK, so am looking at strictly european programs.

Can anyone help me out? It seems like all the top unis (oxbridge/lse/hec/bocconi/etc have a lot of master's programs and it makes it hard to filter out which ones are not relevant)
