No further maths at A level for computer science at uni

Hi, I want to apply to UCL for computer science but I only take Maths, Physics, and Biology. I got a grade 7 in maths gcse due to me trying to get other grades up. Therefore my school will not permit me to take fm at A level, Im just wondering, if should I take a fourth such as Compsci or Economics to strengthen my application.
PS: I know UCL does not require fm but I know its very competitive these days

Try to get as much higher grade as possible. Choosing either cs or econ wouldn't likely strengthen your application as fm. But in my case, i found cs is much easier than econ to get higher grade.

It's up to you.
I didn't do cs in gcse and in alevel found it quite easier than math, physics.

First see if you like it or not compare to economics.

As further maths is also open to me, is this more worth than computer science a level

Yes, getting higher grade on fm is tough( heard from friends) but worth more.
