Your results are great. A-levels are the main thing that Unis look at. Well done btw
Most unis only care about Maths and English
You have passes in both so yeah you can

Unless you're going into a very competitive course like medicine, universities only tend to look for a pass in maths and English. Look up courses you're interested in on the UCAS website and it should tell you the entry requirements - in the long run your A-Level results are far more important! Congrats on your results, by the way!

Thanks, but I want to do Economics at LSE so right now are these grades good enough for me to get into LSE and do Economics. I am planning to take Mathematics in context, Economics and Politics/Government at A-Levels.

I am not sure but Universities always change their preference so your chances of going to uni may vary.

That is literally one of the most competitive courses ever. Most will have 9 or 10+ A*s at gcse and also you will need further maths A level (unless your school doesn't offer it). You will need at least normal A level maths (bare minimum).

From LSE's website: "Applicants should also have already achieved a strong set of GCSE grades including the majority at A and A*, or equivalent. Your GCSE (or equivalent) English Language and Mathematics grades should be no lower than B. We also consider your overall GCSE subject profile"
