Best place for Masters in Economics?

I am looking to take a Masters degree in economics. I am obviously drawn towards applying to LSE, but it seems insanely expensive.

Where else would you recommend?

Any advice on this will be very appreciated!

I have only looked into the UK, as I want to do a masters in Economics or Business there.

Oxbridge obviously, but that's still expensive. I guess most econ masters are expensive (min. £10000 and upwards), especially if you're an overseas student (i.e. non UK/EU-student).

Then there's UCL (I am under the impression that they look for people who are keen on following up their masters with a PhD though), Imperial (more business), Manchester, Warwick, Kings College, Nottingham, Exeter, Queen Mary, Durham, Lancaster, ranked in that order (my own view bear in mind).
