This fundamentally misunderstands why finance is there in the first place. It's not just about access to the euro zone, it's about hiding all that juicy money from [insert national/international authority]. The City is a weird place, not quite governed by the laws of the land as you think it might, and has repeatedly reinvented itself for over 1000 years to remain a pinnacle of 'success' in murky dealings. With that handy set of overseas dependencies to hide stuff in, The City will do just fine after Brexit.
