London Incoming SA 2021 Thread

Hi guys so I wanted to start a thread where the incoming SA in London can compile information to benefit everyone. 

Has anyone heard anything about the internship being virtual or not? If so, please share which firm and what their decision has been (shortened or not, full pay or not etc.).

Also, does any international incoming SAs know if the firms will still sponsor work visas if the internship is virtual? Ideally, I'd still want to travel to London and live there even if everything is done virtually.

Please feel free to share any other information that is relevant to incoming summer analysts in London.

Cheers!

If virtual, where will you guys live for the summer? I'm thinking of renting a place in a random city for much cheaper than London
