How is LevFin and/or Private credit market looking in London? Lateral from European regional IB

Currently thinking about a lateral move from EU regional bank LevFin team (Top 1 in region) to London and mainly interested in LevFin and PC (restructuring and special sits also but a bit of a too long shot) and wondered how's the market looking like if anyone has insight?

Much appreciated on any info on headhunters etc. to kick off to process or if I'm facing mission impossible

Thanks for the answer! Might have to wait for the LevFin market to pick up a little. Happen to know if banks in London typically use HH's for lateral recruitment?
