EU Needs a New Financial Capital

Since Britain decided to leave the EU, the continent needs a new financial capital inside the EU to replace London since London will no longer have access to the free trade zone and will no longer have any influence on EU economic policy.
European economists have identified the following features needed for a new financial capital: English-language facility, which is essential for attracting a global work force; a favorable regulatory environment, especially regarding employment; excellent transportation and communications infrastructure; availability of prime office space and luxury housing; good schools; good restaurants and cultural offerings; and finally, an intangible quality that includes a certain energy level and openness to an influx of highly paid, competitive City of London-Wall Street types.
These are the top choices according to these metrics. So what will it be /pol/? I like Frankfurt. The financial capital should be in the economics powerhouse of the continent.
