Changing university mid-course
I'm a student with AAAA at A level, studying at Bristol, but I may need to go back to London next year.
If your grades were sufficiently impressive, would it be possible to change your university after the first year of your course? If there was sufficient reason: family problems, for example. In my case, a close relative has become incapacitated due to the development of a disability and my assistance is required.

In general, it is impossible to transfer into the second year of the law degree programme at a leading law school. However, your circumstances seem quite special, and your grades are excellent, so you might be able to make a case. You should contact the admissions tutors at UCL, LSE, King's and QMUL as soon as possible. I can't predict your chances, but it's worth a try. After all, you are not at a lower university trying to climb up the prestige ladder! lol
A CATs system is in place at many Universities to enable individuals to transfer from one institution to another, sometimes this is not widely advertised.
Thus if you have completed one year at Bristol you have 120 credits at Level 1 (out of 360 needed for a degree (120 at each level)). The CATs system is widely recognised at the newer Universities- so transferring to one of these is a possibility. Unfortunately many of the more traditional institutions do not operate such a system so you are unable to change into them, although you can easily change out of them. Cambridge being one such example. If in doubt contact the relevant admissions office at the institution you are intending to apply to- often the policies on this are not available online.

There is also no harm in doing your first year again in another subject. I only have five friends who have done this 
I wish you the best with law and caring for relative
I wish you the best with law and caring for relativeI have just re-read your post; if you are indeed moving due to the fact, you need to care for a relative I am sure strings could be pulled for you if you contacted the correct people at the relevant admissions office. It is probably best to do so ASAP and get something organised in advance.
