I think you just need to filter through the options, think about the modules on offer, any work experience opportunities and also the setting of the university. There are many good universities out there within those grade ranges.

I do know someone doing Architecture at Oxford Brooks who has had a good first year there and its in your grade range.

There are lots of good unis that will accept you with ABB. Take a look at Strathclyde Uni in Glasgow - ranked No 18 in the Guardian Good Uni guide

See the stickied A levels for Architecture thread in architecture, building and planning by @normaw [br] [br] There’s loads of great architecture courses asking for AAB-ABB
see if your library has copies of AJ - especially the student editions and see if you can get to some summer shows this month and next month at some of the universities near you.
