You realize Brexit hasn't happened yet, right?

And who, specifically, told you that London would be "destroyed" by Brexit?

There's a general consensus that London will be significantly harmed, given that the financial industry will need to relocate tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, and London's international stature and strategic importance will decline somewhat, once untethered to the Eurozone.

Or, more likely, it could be the fact that basically every economist agrees that exiting the Eurozone is a significant net economic negative?
