LDN Notice Periods

Looking to lateral but have a 3-month notice period at the junior level. Wondering how this is typically viewed? My firm just hired and analyst from an IB that had a 3-month and didn't mind waiting the 3 months. Is this the norm? 

Anyone successfully negotiate this down on a lateral move?

Out of curiosity, why would you want to negotiate it down?

Normally, when you move to a competitor, your current bank will force you to leave the office immediately - giving you a 3 months garden leave. Honestly, I would just appreciate the 3 months off.
