The nicest offices & perks among EBs and BBs | London

Saw similar topic that was aimed at the US and though it would be good to have separate discussion for Europe.

What is your take on banks' London offices? Which office and location would you say is the most enjoyable? Which one offers the best perks/amenities? Mayfair vs Canary Wharf?

Very interested in this since I won't get to see the actual office during my SA gig...

I remember Laz being quite nice when I did a SW there a few years back. Mahogany everywhere, especially in the boardrooms. Bull-pen looked pretty modern - not the typical cube farm you get elsewhere.

Heard Rothschild is incredible from a couple of my friends who worked/interned/springed there. Also heard Centerview was nice too.

I remember JPM's trading floor being v swanky when I had a tour around back in high school.

Was obsessed with finance, now do product in tech

other than their stupid 120k pay I’ve heard PJT analysts get Amex platinum and uber blacks. Also had quite a lot dished out to them for WFH setups.
