Obviously some things moved, mostly because of regulatory requirements. But this was overall kept to a minimum and London is as strong as ever as financial centre, stronger even [1] [2].
Similarly, my guess is that in 4 years Europe will still be a distant 3rd and not much will have changed, not least because whatever is happening now in the US has much less long term impact than Brexit (everything can change in 4 years) and I don't see Europe suddenly changing drastically.

I mean... that really depends on if it _does_ change, though. Certainly if maintained these tariffs are potentially more disruptive than Brexit; they would tend to reshape global trade. If they actually last 4 years then that feels like it's probably going to be bigger than Brexit, at least as a pure _economic_ impact (obviously Brexit also had _extensive_ non-economic impact).
I understand that the default is to assume "sanity will probably return", but bear in mind that it is _Trump_.
