Good morning!

The first thing I would do is start calling round the universities that have these courses in clearing, you can get his info from UCAS directly (http://search.ucas.com/).

If you decide to look outside of London, we have a few similar courses available :smile:

I already took a gap year so I'm not really looking to do a foundation year but if I have no choice, I guess I'll have to do it? :')

You have options. Taking a foundation year isn't the end of the world at all and if it gets you to where you want to go and then seriously consider it. You'll be fine whatever choice you make.
