Which banks in London sponsor foreigners (Commonwealth - lateral)

Does anyone know which banks in London would be easy to lateral to as a Canadian (at a bulge bracket currently)? Which of them sponsor, or have a history of taking foreign transfers? Appreciate any information or advice.

I don't have the answer to your question specifically. But, assuming you hold Canadian citizenship, you might qualify for the Youth Mobility Scheme

It is something like the British counterpart of the working holiday visa in Canada (IEC).
I have done the IEC in Canada and it was one of the best experiences of my life (did CEC afterwards and also got my PR).
