Best sixth forms in or around London

So i saw this thread but it’s 5 years old so I decided to make a newer one but just changed it a bit.
So it’s also for my own use since I’ll be applying for sixth forms this year but what sixth forms in or around London are good for taking the a levels?
Feel free to also add any sixth forms which are terrible ahaha.
And if you could maybe say why to any of these it would be really helpful. Thankyou

I think it depends on which curriculum you want to pursue. The IB or A-levels?

These are Private schools aren't they - you should make that clear if they are. Not everyone wants that sort of 'education'

Depends on how many A-Levels you want to do. 3 or 4?

Look at the results for subjects you want to do. Don't spend too long travelling. What sort of degree and unis do leavers go to? Some are very 'single track' ie lots of medicine no Engineering or Arts subjects.

Oh idm about travel since im already spending 1 1/2 hours to my current school so it’s fine.
I guess most schools do well in the subjects i wanna take since it’s like maths and physics.
Thankyou so much for the help! I’ll make sure to check where the students go to and stuff.
