Transaction services in Europe to London IB

Currently working in transaction services at a big 4 (financial due diligence) in one of the nordic capitals. I am debating whether or not it would be worth it to pursue a master's degree in the UK or at another top school in Europe (HEC, HSG, Bocconi). The aim would be to secure a spot in investment banking in London (MM or boutique would be fine). So would really appreciate some input on whether or not my profile in combination with a masters would be strong enough to secure an internship. 

FYI I have one year of experience at the moment and have previously interned in corporate development. 

Thanks!

It’s a gamble. Recruiting this year, my work experience is similar and only got rejections so far. London has become extremely unpredictable, so no idea what to suggest. Trust your gut, I’d say.
