You could specialise in East European History completely, if you wanted to, except for the compulsory Introduction to European History module in the first year which is very broad. What I think most people do (this is according to the SSEES website), however, is to take units outside the department as well (i.e. at UCL History dept. or other UoL History depts.) in years 2 and 3, for example in Brittish or/and American History. The course is very flexible basically. If you want to you can do 25% of your degree in a subject other than history for example (language or other social sciences subject). If you want more detail, check out their website; http://www.ssees.ucl.ac.uk/uhistory.htm.

Then what is the difference between the BA History V100 offered by UCL History department and V101 offered by SSEES?

Well, the first years of both degrees are based in different departments and the foundation courses are not the same (the UCL foundation course 'Historical trends...' seems broader than 'Introduction to European History' at SSEES). But apart from year 1, my interpretation is that there aren't too many differences since both courses (v100 and v101) are extremely flexible.
