PE out of Undergrad in London

Does anyone have a list of PE shops that recruit straight out of UG?

And do these places recruit through summer internships?

I have seen a few people go straight into some big PE shops. Most of these did summers at banks.

Thanks

Thank you for sharing this. I have heard about permira and blackstone before. Do you know which of these firms run summer internships? And/or who hires full time without an internship programme?
