The French have been claiming the end of the City of London and Anglo-Saxon capitalism since the 16th century. Other than the outbreak of WWI, I can't think of a single example that had a material, long lasting effect on London as a center for global finance.

Yes, London is at an inflection point. Then again, so is the EU, traditional commercial banking and global finance in general. Brexit pales in comparison to these things.
