I was in a City firm and although social and educational background wasn't a top topic for discussion among partners, from what I gathered in such conversations about 20% were privately educated, and 10% were Oxbridge. At lower levels it seemed to be similar. Some of us even had regional accents, and some of us weren't pale or - about 30% - male.

Reading about diversity matters in City firms makes me realise my firm was very unusual, as I don't recognise it from the castigation City firms often seem to get on these issues. Should have blown the trumpet more I guess.
