Durham, Bristol and Warwick
What about Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield, Southampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds?

What about them? They're good Unis for Engineering too with not much to choose between them in terms of reputation, so it boils down to module choice, facilities and location

UCL actually aren't that well received or known for their engineering disciplines.
I personally wouldn't rank them with the likes of Oxbridge/Imperial.

For engineering the facilities matter quite a bit. Visit universities on open days to have a look at them, with some universities having very new buildings for engineering such as Southampton.
Agree with this. Sheffield also has good facilities and the "diamond" to recommend it.

Oxford Brookes? Since when it became on par with the top unis like Sheffield or Bristol?

It's a very good feeder for F1 in particular.
Don't get hung up by Russell Group "prestige".

So Sheffield can be better than NTU although NTU ranks ridiculously higher? The NTU from Singapore.

As far as UK engineering employers are concerned, your university doesn't matter.
As far as you should be concerned, you need to visit potential universities and see for yourself. Rankings, especially world rankings, aren't relevant for undergrads.

I am an international student and I am choosing between Sheffield and NTU. I'm more inclined to Sheffield cuz I feel more comfortable dealing with brits than asians. But NTU ranks higher in nearly every league table while Sheffield is mostly like top 100 worldwide.
Also, I want to do a masters and a doctorate in oxbridge or one of the top unis in the US like MIT, Stanford, Caltech, etc and settle down in an English speaking non-asian country.
Cost is also a problem too. My friend who currently works in the UK said scholarships for master's degrees are extremely rare so I'm not sure if I could be able to do a masters and phd on scholarships in the UK after finishing my undergrad degree in Sheffield. On the other hand, NTU gives lots of tuition aid even to international students so...

As I said, ignore the rankings. And you can do a masters at Oxbridge with a BEng* from Sheffield. There's certainly postgrad engineering funding available at Oxbridge, but you need to be competitive to secure it. A first from Sheffield would be helpful.
*Or PhD after an MEng.

Oh, and why all the smoke and mirrors then? Just ask that actual question instead of wanting nebulous "recommendations".

When did LSE start offering Engineering?
And which universities are the constituents of Oxbridge?

Perhaps you could do some research on LSE's engineering courses.
