Mining in London - Best Groups?

Currently a mining analyst at a B5 in Toronto and looking to move to London, I don’t prefer the US more for WLB reasons and also less mining exposure.

Wondering which groups have the strongest deal flow for M&A? Is it mostly dominated by BMO / RBC or is there other BB players with solid mining groups too?

Thanks for any advice

I know Citi have a good presence in London and mostly work with the majors, but very sweaty. Barclays and RBC also have established mining teams in London. MS seem to do quite a bit of mining work here too, seen them on the opposing side of an aggressive buyside. Looks like BMO are mostly doing LMM/MM out of the London office, heard culture is quite weird there. CIBC, HSBC and Standard Chartered have been recently doing a bit of hiring to build out their mining teams in LND so can try one of these banks. The London scene in general is quite active around LMM/MM mining with Canaccord and Stifel doing a lot of work.
