Best thing would be to call/email the university to find out.

Highly unlikely, but still a small chance since LSE Maths is generally not a very strong department compared to its rivals.
But zero chance for the top Maths unis (Cambridge,Oxford,Warwick, Imperial) A*AB is below COWI requirements and they're very strict on results day- even though you might get an offer from them you won't satisfy it with those grades.

They do if it's a maths and economics course.

25% of your course will be Economics at LSE, if you're targeted for a B especially if you've only done AS Economics I think LSE is out of your range tbh.
Even if the maths courses are less competitive, they still are very competitive and want A*AA and will give them offers over you.

"However, the combination of Mathematics, Further Mathematics plus one other subject is considered insufficiently broad for many of our programmes"

"for many" - Does not apply to Maths w/ economics and other maths based courses.

This means that if you're doing further maths and maths they want you to do two other A levels, they love if you do further maths and maths but they also want you to have wider knowledge by doing more subjects that aren't maths.
The short answer is no, you'd be ill advised to apply for LSE with a B in prediction, especially Maths and Econ, which is an even harder course than pure Econ.
Even the less competitive degrees in LSE like Management and Sociology have upped their game and require AAA Minimum. A*A*B will not cut it.
And as many mentioned, Further Mathematics does not qualify as a 3rd subject, it is a 4th subject, so you will not have the necessary breadth of subjects either.

Yes, best advice. No need to second guess.

No point of anyone telling you yes that they will when they might not.

Yes, check with the real Admissions Officers, not the wanna-be ones in TSR. Just saying ... we should not give bad advice.
