The biggest investment banks in the City are preparing for a widespread return to the office from September, even as the Delta Covid-19 variant has forced many to push back plans on Wall Street.

Banks including Barclays, Bank of America, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are expecting a wave of employees to return to their UK headquarters over the course of the next month, according to people familiar with the matter.
