Citadel Securities London. Base 125K GBP + bonus (they told to expect 200+K first-year bonus).
Have heard that they pay same numbers in Chicago and London => the base looks low (ppl with the same background are getting 170+ base in Chicago).

@HxQh73 COL is pretty high in London, rentals near their office in London are >= 2500GBP for a decent place
Agree in general. But at the same time, I've heard that Citadel (and all the companies under their umbrella) pays the same dollars in each country. Given that assumption, it could be on the lower side of things.
