Barclays London IBD - Best Groups

I have a SA offer for Barclays and was wondering what the best groups are in terms of prestige, exit opps, deal flow, WL balance, culture etc. I've seen a lot of talk about this in the WSO forums but couldn't find anything for London specifically. Any idea what the best groups are for exits?

I've heard mentions of UK M&A but have been told that the sector teams do M&A in house so not sure what role they play exactly.
