Strongest M&A Teams in London

Keen to understand out of BB / European / Mid-Tier and BB's, who the market deem the strongest for:

1) Public M&A (Blue book advisory) 2) Private Sponsors M&A (buy/sell) 3) Defense / Hostile / Shareholder Activism

Looking at pure play M&A teams; and please differentiate where firms have execution vs public e.g. Barclays, to aid the discussion.
