London Growth Equity Firms

Looking for a list of London Growth Equity funds, particularly those that offer internships/analyst positions.

Asking because I know some US funds that I have been struggling to pin down in the UK (i.e. Insight - seen a couple VPs based in London, but no analysts/associates, and even then non are British-educated implying an internal move).

Don’t care if it’s continuation, pure growth or traditional LBO as a firm as long as they have a team that deploys primarily growth checks.


Thanks!
