IB culture in London

So I’ve been reading a lot on how the WLB and culture in most NY offices is horrendous, with people averaging +110 hours weeks (this becoming even worse with WFH). I was wondering if the same applies to London offices (say top tier BB: MS, GS, JP, BAML, CITI) ... would love to hear from current employees / new recruits, how has it been for you and what teams are known to be the worst ?
