Like you, I am in Year 12. I don't think it is too late for you to consider doing Law. You've got a long time to do your personal statement and prepare for the LNAT.
What subjects do you do?

Absolutely not. You have time to change your personal statement. Do a lot of reading and watch some uni lectures about law as well to help your personal statement.
It’s all about the personal statement so whilst you might not have the work experience show your interest through books, articles and online lectures (some can be found on university archives)
Also prepare for the LNAT

If you are applying to Oxford or Cambridge, then the answer is no because the date for submitting applications is 15th October. But any other uni, you would be ok to do work experience in the half term.

Also is Biology, Maths and Psychology a good subject combination for law?

I do not think I will apply to Oxbridge, therefore I think I will be able to find some work experience by then (is this a good choice)

Some uni's will ask for an essay subject like history of eng lit. However, others will not really be bothered as long as you get decent grades in those subjects.

In my honest opinion, I think that’s a bit risky. I know the LNAT is around October so you may want to focus on that. Also law school can be quite competitive so you might want to get your application in as early as possible. HOWEVER, it’s not a completely bad idea if you feel like you really need work experience. You can always write about the work experience you already have and talk about the skills you gained from it

No it’s never too late for you to consider. You can use this time to see if Law really is for you.

You also don't need to spend months and months preparing anyway.
And getting your application done quickly provides zero advantage. The only university for Law that prefers candidates to submit applications/do the LNAT earlier is KCL, and they just say they prefer candidates to do it by mid-December.
OP: Work experience is also really not necessary. Obviously if it's a really good opportunity (as opposed to dull photocopying) and if you really want to/you can link it in nicely with your PS, go for it.
Your A-Level subjects imo should be fine, psychology should count as an essay subject I think? LSE rejected a few people this year for having only science (Bio, Chem and Maths) subjects but I think psych should be okay.
If you want LNAT advice, PM me.

They also can't force you to do it in October, you could've complained, there's no reason for that.
