I’m starting Law at Oxford in October so hopefully I can be of assistance regardless of whether you want to apply to Oxbridge or not :smile:

History is always a really well regarded option because of the analytical skills that it helps you to develop which are crucial for a law degree. Essay-based subjects in general are preferred but most people have an eclectic mix of A-levels. My biggest piece of advice is that you need to study subjects that you enjoy. It’s virtually impossible to give yourself the required motivation to study for a subject that you don’t enjoy!

You can study any subjects. Why not look at universities you'd like to go to and look at their entry requirements for Law? that way, you wont miss out on any specific subject requirements. Work backwards.

Make sure you change the 'year of entry' to - 2019. if you leave it at 2018 it will keep directing you to clearing without showing what the entry requirements are.
