If not London, where? City relocation scenario

Picking up on the Wall Street to Miami theme, where would you relocate the City to? A bit odd how no one in Europe is talking about this. I'd gladly leave the UK

Key newspapers had this topic in the last weeks, most are mentioning Frankfurt, Zürich, Amsterdam and Dublin.

Dublin isn't ugly but has an even shittier weather than London and significantly so. It's also too small, tech went there first, there's a massive shortage of housing to the point that it's the key topic in elections.

Frankurt and Zurich are boring as fuck. Easy to live in cities, but seriously dull. Amsterdam is lovely but also suffers from the same overpopulation issue as Dublin

I agree with everything you said!

But those are the valid options where some bankers might have to move due to Brexit, we don't even know how many have to/will move anyway.

I forgot to mention Paris for the lower tier banks and the people who have no problem living in a French speaking country.

Moving to Dublin will confuse the shit out of Americans who will think it's still in UK and they use Pound Sterling there too:

 

Venice would be amazing but there's 0% chance of it ever happening 

Yes. Waaaaaaay too small.

After corona you could fly in for interviews, then ask for some form of sponsorship or go the skilled professional route. either way, you'd need a visa. there is still the possibility to get offers, but nobody has any clue (as of now) how financial services will be regulated post-Brexit.
