City vs School name for study abroad?

I have the opportunity to do a semester abroad next year (sep - jan), and am lucky to go to a school with a wide network of partners.

Since I want to work in finance later (pref. after bachelors), I am considering going to London in my exchange semester. I don't have a certain location for work locked in (London, Paris, etc.), and am pretty flexible. 

My school has a partnership with Bocconi, HEC and King's College, which are the three main places in my mind currently. We also have a partnership with Warwick, which I've heard is good (?), but I looked and the location and it's not really for me. I can apply for Wharton, but the distance is a huge negative factor for me (I live in a Nordic country).

My question is which of these I should lean towards, if I am open to many different cities for work later? Is getting a position after bachelor's even an option in anything that's not London?

Thank you!
