Warwick BSc Economics or UCL BA History, Politics and Economics

Basically what the title says, have offers to study both. Not exactly sure what i want to do after graduating but want to maximise my prospects in finance. I prefer Warwick’s campus and Econ is their flagship course, but as a uni UCL has a better rep (how much better though?) and I’d probably enjoy their course more. The UCL course also looks less rigorous, would this be advantageous as it gives me time to better my applications for springs? Any advice would be appreciated :)
