Internship: Unpaid London boutique vs paid Amsterdam

So, I have 2 internship offers for the summer of 2022. Both IB M&A boutiques (+-10 ppl), one is unpaid in London and the other is paid in Amsterdam (hometown).

One minor issue is that the summer deal flow in London is unsure whereas in Amsterdam I'm sure of work.Is the unpaid basis and uncertain deal flow of London worth the city prestige?

Which one will improve my chances for London BB IB internships in 2023?

Thanks!
