St Andrews, Manchester and Durham are pretty competitive

Imperial

I would say Durham and Imperial are the most competitive, Manchester gives out offers to a large number but the requirements are higher than elsewhere, and St Andrews is also quite competitive to get in, UCL has a lot of applicants as well, because their requirements are much lower than unis of a similar standard.

Note that Cambridge do not do straight Physics from the first year. To answer the question Imperial are probably the most competitive besides Oxbridge.
