Blackstone REPE Summer Analyst interview London

Hi Guys,
I am quite new here.

I have an interview for Blackstone Real Estate Private Equity tomorrow.
I have passed the first telephone interview which was very technical, basically 20 mins of calculating NOI yields and other simple algebraic exercises.
I will be going to the office tomorrow for a maths test and 3 further interviews.
Has anyone interviewed with the London division before or could give me some advice on what to expect?

I have a quant background, so naturally not to worried about the maths test, but would still appreciate past experiences comments and opinions.

Thanks !

Weird it's for PE, I was placed into debt strategies. I'm guessing the process must be handled together? Mine have been half fit/technical.

Thanks for the reply Sonny! Could you please elaborate a little further as to what questions came up? Many thanks!

Accounting/debt/valuation and investing ideas. General market awareness (looked into BX's earnings call/investment themes for that).
