Full Time IBD / Buyside (PE) Recruiting for London, UK

This may be covered somewhere else (apologize if it is), but curious to hear the high-level overview of the banking / PE scene in London, specifically if looking to join from undergrad.

For context, I will be summering at an EB next summer but have always been curious about living overseas (from Canada) - doesn't seem to be too much info on London so anything here is helpful! Thanks.
