A levels to get into bsc accounting and finance at LSE

I am currently deciding A level options. I was wondering how vital further maths is to get into this course because of the competitiveness of LSE. I am doing history AS, physics, economics and was wondering on maths or maths+further maths. Any advice?

Maths,
Physics,
Further Maths
and Economics is perfect, not just for A&F but for any maths/ engineering based degree.

I know someone in their first year of A&F at LSE who didn't even do Maths so your combination will be absolutely fine

I got an offer from all 5 unis including LSE
my subjects are physics maths economics and dropped geography for a2. Furthur maths not required. i did get 100 in maths AS so...

But if u think u can do furthur maths go for it. The reason i didnt choose to do it was because i would fail even tho i know im good.

I got an unconditional offer for LSE A and F in 2015. I used actual results not predicated. My school did not offer further maths. I had AAA* (A* in Math, A in Physics,Chem) At AS i got aaaaab ( a in accounting , math , physics ,chem , bio ) . I think the A* in math definitely helped. Note accounting is listed as a non preferred subject by LSE on the website , hence I dropped it for A2. They don't tell you why you got in so it is difficult to know which subjects they prefer.

Well I was hoping to go into finance with A+F or possibly the economics course. I have done some work experience at a firm in London every two weeks or so and have invested in stocks and shares since around 14 ( I am 15 nearly turning 16). I have also got some other good extracurricular activities I can potentially put on. Will these help me as well?

Well congrats on that. Yeah I was worried if I took further maths I wouldn't get an A* in A level maths and an A* in maths looks quite important. I am doing further maths GCSE this year. Will that be good or will it just be like any other GCSE and not be that important for any offers I get?
