London - Best Banks for Consumer & Retail and Media

Hi all - would anyone be able to shed a light on the best banks in London for Consumer & Retail, Media, Leisure and similar?

Currently an analyst 2 in a niche group of a BB. I'm realising I wouldn't mind sticking to banking for another couple of years, but only if I can get into a team covering one of the sectors I'm interested in (namely, the above).

Unfortunately my bank's coverage of these is quite lacklustre hence, an internal move does not seem like a wise choice.

On the media side I've heard great things about MS, JPM and Raine, but don't know much about other players, as well as about the C&R space.

Would really appreciate any answers, thanks!

 

As far as I know JPM and Roth are quite strong if not the best BB/EB for C&R in London 

For Media & Communications MS is clear #1. Specifically in Education where I can see it becoming a proper coverage group at MS in the future (having worked myself with this team). JPM also did some interesting deals in Media recently so would also add them on the tier 1 list.
