Is it worth going to UCL/LSE over Bristol/Durham due to having a slightly better reputation (and being closer to the larger firms), despite the more expensive living/housing costs?

Being closer to the firms won't matter a whole lot. You'll got to two or three open days and perhaps have a vac over the summer at a law firm. You won't lose access to law firms due to being in Durham or Bristol. Though LSE does have an amazing reputation and that matters a whole lot, but Bristol and Durham are most certainly no slouches when it comes to their academic reputation.

Nope. We have the internet now where law firms do the majority of their recruiting. Plus, all the top law firms visit both Durham and Bristol regularly throughout the year as is.
The nexus between these two groups of universities is tiny and going to one or the other would neither hinder nor significantly increase your chances of landing a training contract/pupillage.
Basically, if money is a consideration/a deal breaker, I wouldn't stress myself over choosing a London uni. In fact that's exactly what I've done: reject UCL.

Yes, a course combining mathematics and computer science is 'beta'. Sure. Look buddy, I can become a lawyer as much as anyone who studied Law, the course isn't anything special.
Your username alone is befitting of the way you come across: severely overcompensating.

It is beta. Being sarcastic about it won't change anything. The LLB is highly competitive. Your course has about 3 people applying for it.
The way I come across? I gave helpful knowledgeable advice. You gave some advice whilst bragging about turning down UCL, as if it were at all relevant. You're the person here who wants his little tight ass kissed, not me. Looking at your academic results, I can see why you need a little pat on the head, but don't project and bring this to my door.

Mocked it. Don't have it @Princepieman he mocked you g
You've been using that phallus line a lot, mate. It doesn't make you look clever. It rather makes you sound insipid. You wanted me to explain why the course you rejected is irrelevant; you invited me to discuss it. If anyone is making this thread go off topic, it's you who's being unnecessarily emotional. My initial reply to you was simple, magnanimous and you contested it to save face.
And how considerable is the phallus of the man who doesn't have the cajones to quote me? Yeah, that's right.
This is the most pointless argument I've had in a while.
