In terms of reputation, Cambridge is unmatched in the UK. The British IMO team train there, and so do the people for the Informatics Olympiad. The Cam mathematicians do get the nerd label a lot though.

Why is there even a poll? It's obvious that Cambridge is the pinnacle.
Very true, I think there's no guestion about it.
However, what I've heard is that Warwick is supposed to nearly as good as Cambridge degree structure / teaching wise.. Any comments on this? I talked with a maths teacher while at Oxford (just for the record, she wasn't an Oxford professor just someone who'd been teaching maths for ages)and she said that she would recommend Warwick after Cambridge..
I had MMath at Warwick as one of my UCAS options. After thinking it long and hard, I decided to but Warwick as my insurrance. I'm now headed to Imperial College for a double majors equivalent of Maths and Computer Science, should be good
If I would have gone for a straight maths degree I would have gone to Warwick. They got a nice, new n shiny mathematics institute there with blackboards in the common room.. I guess they're mimicking Newton Institute here, lol, but yeah I like the idea of it..
