Read this. It gives really good advice + specifically what A-levels are required for specific degrees

I'm in the exact same position as you. I'm thinking of doing

English Literature
History
French

and either

Gov. + Politics or Religious studies.

ps. All the university websites I've looked on have said that Law A-level is considered a weaker option, and that Law degrees don't even require it at A-level. Apparently the best choices are English or History.

Those A Levels are good. Exactly the kind of ones I would take.

Have you considered Geography? It's really interesting, well respected, and it's not a great deal of work (there's a lot to revise, but you won't spend a large amount of time on it outside of school). Just an idea, those 4 are fine though, even for Russel Group universities. Law is considered a weaker subject, but you are also taking stronger ones so it should be fine.
