Private Equity Internships - London, Paris or Other Capitals

Hi guys,

I've recently completed a 6 months M&A internship at a tier 1 Investment Bank (not BB) and I would like to do another internship in PE. My first choice would be London and the second one Paris.
I'm still a student and I fluently speak only Italian and English.

At the moment I am in the process with small/medium PE firms based in Paris/Bruxelles.
However, I'm struggling to get interviews in London (I need sponsorship) and I wanted to kindly ask you whether you had any suggestions on good PE based in London that sponsor visa for internship.
Obviously my dream PE firms are Ardian etc. but I can adapt to any good PE firm.

Any suggestions also on other PEs outside of London is more than welcomed! (My main interests are: Consumer/Retail/Luxury etc.)
Thanks!
