IB Debt Advisory Landscape in London

I'm quite interested in Debt Advisory as a career field and as there are no league tables as there are for M&A, I was wondering which banks/boutiques (not Big4, A&M type firms) have the best teams in terms of dealflow, dealsize, culture etc.?

I am also wondering which firms have dedicated debt advisory teams in London and which firms combine restructuring & debt advisory at junior level and which one I should prefer if I could choose.

Sub 100m only at Houlihan or at every firm listed after Lazard? Is there a difference in terms of sponsor/sponsorless deals at those firms?
