UCL or Warwick for Economics?

Hello all, first time posting on here. I've received offers for Bsc Economics from UCL and Warwick. I want to go into Investment banking.
Being in London, would UCL be a better choice for a future career in IB since it is in close proximity to major banks?

Any input would be appreciated - I don't mind going to either in the end.

Thank you

Being in London doesn't make a difference. Go to either, once you're at a reputable university no bulge bracket is really going to care what the exact one is

 

Warwick course honestly might be slightly easier, so more time for ECs and fun. However make sure you're comfortable with the campus. I visited and personally didn't enjoy the vibe so much, but have friends who went who love the campus feel. They are much more close knit than I am with my uni friends
