I'd be keen to hear about European Offices (especially London) for both Corporate PE and teams like REPE and Growth Equity - if anyone has any information

The better question is probably "Which MF / MF group doesn't have brutal hours?". You may get the occasional group with a good work-life balance but by and large MFs (the PE side at least) have brutal hours.
Other arms of MFs (credit, RE, growth, etc.) are a different story. I work at a MF growth arm and my hours are good (55-60 a week on average, higher during live deals). I have friends at a couple other MF growth arms who work similar hours.
UMM here, Donnie Azoff style if you actually work those hours I'll quit my job today and come work for you
