Can I study Neuroscience with these A levels?

Can I go to university and study Neuroscience with A levels in Marine Science, Mathematics and Physics. I know that most people do Biology, Chemistry and Psychology and that universities do offer places for Mathematics and Physics. Would I be seen as a good candidate with my chosen A levels?

You do miss out on a number of the other neuroscience degrees where they ask you for biology and chemistry. However, if you are happy with your choice, then so be it.

Would I be seen as a good candidate with my chosen A levels?
No clue. I don't work in admissions or in the neuroscience departments. I think this opinion would come down to the individual who is deciding on your application, and I don't think anyone would have enough inkling to tell you what they will think of your application.
