Actually the real estate team in London is super strong. Probably the best in the UK.
Know anything about RX?
Really? Even they have not had any good exits.
What are the other good re teams in London?
Look at the directors, most have been there since a long time. The MD has been with Lazard for 15+ years and recently put the team on every take private that happened in the UK. Culture is decent from what I heard.
Other top RE teams include MS and GS in London. Jefferies had a good year but the head just signed to lead CBRE UK practice. Citi and DB are not bad as well but still lagging behind for now.
To the one that monkey shit me; sorry if you are working at a shitty bank and can’t close any real estate deal!

Which off-cycle are you joining? PCA have already started and H1 26 hasn't finished recruiting yet
Industrial placement - just said off cycle in case people are not familiar with it
When were applications open for H1 2026?
Late June - Early July. V short window
Rx, FIG, & RE have best mix of strong culture and solid deal flow. DCM another solid all around team. Industrials and Natural Resources both sweaty but good deal experience. Healthcare has great culture although lost a lot of their team.
Avoid Business Services and Consumer at all costs - two worst culture teams and no deals.
