A level choices for potential high finance career

Hello everyone, 

I'm 16 and considering going into a tech/finance related job when I'm older as I have interests in both those spaces. I've done some code auditing before to get knowledge with tech and done a couple of DCF type models  (+ watched the Shkreli modelling series) to get knowledgein finance. 

For A levels I'm planning on doing:

Maths + Further Maths

Econ

Physics  or Computer Science

Do you think deciding physics/computer science will have a significant impact on university applications (I'm aiming for IB targets - LSE, Oxbridge, etc)?

If so which one would be better?
