Studying in London and Want to Intern

I'm going to be studying abroad in London next spring for a full semester during my junior year. Looking like my class load will be pretty light, and while the prospects of letting loose for a semester are very appealing, I think I want to try to get a part-time IB internship somewhere in London to further fill out my resume and gain valuable experience. Go to a semi-target in the midwest and have a solid internship under my belt along with a decent GPA. How doable is this? Obviously don't have any connections in the UK, so I am wondering what the best way to approach banks would be to maximize my changes of securing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
