Canvassing was conducted by email and telephone interviews between Feb. 9 and March 22, just shy of a year before Britain is due to leave. The number of finance jobs to leave London after the UK leaves the EU is thought to be around 5,000 , a Reuters survey of leading international finance firms has found . This is half the number estimated by respondents to the same survey two months ago , with the government 's conciliatory tone towards The City and involvement in Brexit talks cited as the reasons for the reduced figure . The findings suggest London will remain the financial centre of Europe , and that initial threats of job losses due to Brexit were avoided .
