Europe RE Players? Best London REPE?

I think the title sums it up. What do you guys know about the European real estate scene? What's the best entry level acquisitions job out there, and how is the culture different to the US-based REPE industry?

I'll talk about the big players, there's some smaller quality players in every country but I don't know all of them.

Insurers: AXA IM, SMA BTP, CNP (they mostly work through AEW), Allianz

Asset managers and banks: Amundi, Deka, Primonial, Blackstone, Cardif (BNP), HSBC, Swiss Life, CommerzReal, Commerz Bank, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse

Others: CBRE GI, Lasalle, Primevest, Tristan Capital (really good if you target london), Nuveen, Invesco, Aberdeen, Schroder

Value Add actors: Hines, Tishman Speyer

Other investors also work in Europe like the Koreans (Samsung SRA, ...) or sovereign funds (ADIA, GIC...) but they often work with an asset manager so they don't actually have an office there.

Sorry if it's extremely confusing and if the categories don't make any sense or if I mixed them up, I know mostly the french actors so if you want to know more specifically about the french market I can give you more names.
