How to get an internship in first year?

Hoping to apply for IB internships next year, and I plan to apply for springs but incase if I don't get into any what other internships are good to get in first year, given many of the ones I see want penultimate years. Ik people say to cold email but how many emails did you send before getting one, and should I attach my cv and cover letter in each email? Any websites with a good list of these companies I can try for in London?
