Consultancy to Investment Banking in London

Hi,

I currently work as a 1st year consultant in London and I wish to move to Investment Banking in the near future. Out of sheer ignorance, how do I actually make the move to investment banking M&A at a bulge bracket / mid-market boutique investment bank? Should I go to a recruitment agency specialising in the industry who can get me interviews with these investment banks? If so please do recommend such recruitment agencies in London. Thanks!!!!
