Ideally check the course you want to do and check the unis your interested in to see the subject requirements.
Usually maths..........

Maths definitely. Probably computing and possibly physics

At Cambridge it's maths, further maths and physics. But at most places Maths and I.T/ computing will be ideal.

Maths with a preference for FM, Physics and/or computing

Please please don't pick ict. Even imperial's computing department say they would prefer you not to have it, stick with maths, further maths, then preferably a science then just something you enjoy.
