Kings is awesome and in London and has a good reputation. UCL is great too, better reputation and usually academic standard than kings. Queen mary - good safe/insurance choice. Cambridge is Cambridge, go visit it and you will know what I'm talking about.
I am sure you are aware of the reputation hierarchy. The location for King's is something to consider; it is central; this may be an advantage or disadvantage for you. Unfortunately, I am unaware of the social reputation, however I can confidently say that King's won't be considerably worse/better than any other university on the level of cohesion or 'friendliness'.
Given your username, surprised you're applying so far inland as opposed to considering Exeter, etc? It's ranked high on the best universities rankings, and it does a year abroad:

Yeah I just didn't wanna go south to exeter! Stupid reason I know..kings and queen Mary also do a year abroad, Nottingham also does a semester abroad and I applied to all of those. You doing geog?
I've been to UCL and KCL campuses, both are in great locations and I really liked them both. I guess if you're not much of a big city person they might not be for you.
I'm applying to UCL, KCL and QMUL
Plus Southampton and Aston but I don't really want to go to either of them they're just back ups really.

Hello! I'm applying for geography at kings although it's not my first choice, I've heard bad things about its teaching from the newspaper and my dad who's a uni lecturer, the course fair the BA at kings looks great if that's what ur interested in doing, my firm will hopefully be Southampton as soon as I send off my application that is!!
