Spring weeks/interships doing a non-finance related degree at LSE?

I have an offer for BSc Economic History at LSE. I'm hoping to get into Ibd, and was wondering about any disadvantages/hardships I might face when applying for SWs/Internships. I am aware Lse is a great target (apparently target is more important than the degree?). Economic history hasn't got any close links to finance (and doesn't offer the quantitative aspects that a STEM non-finance might benefit from). I also hold an offer for Warwick Management (I know it's seen as an "easy" degree but it does offer the option to specialise in finance). Is LSE still my best bet, or should I consider going to a lower ranked target such as Warwick?
