How do I break into London IBD as a international MSc Finance student in London?

I'm currently finishing my bachelor studies in economics in a top 10 business school in the Nordics and I'm planning on applying to LSE, LBS, Imperial for a MSc in Finance. I have done a few investment banking internships previously. How would it work with the Visas as an international student? When do I apply for IBD internships in London? What is the best way to break into London IBD as an international MSc Finance student?
