Lateraling from NYC to London as an International (Non UK Citizen)

Hey,

Currently an IB analyst in NYC on 1 year visa (OPT). Ideally would like to stay with my bank / group, but in case I am out options at the end of my first year, can I lateral to some other bank in London? Is that possible if I am not a UK citizen (did my undergrad in US, but not a US citizen as well)? 

Are there London headhunter that help with this? Looking to explore this option as a safety net. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
