Behavioural economics at City, UoL or Business Psychology at Manchester

The courses seem kind of random.

Firstly, neither courses are accredited by the BPS, so if you intend to do a psychology course with intention to go into clinical psychology professionally, you will be out of luck (you will need to do further postgrad studies in psychology).

Second, the courses seem very different from each other. Behavioural economics is about psychology in an economics context (you sometimes get some maths, but mostly stuff about psychology). Business psychology is more about psychology in a business context (so marketing and HR).

Third, based on your options, it's not very clear what you intend to do with the degrees or what you intend to do after your degree. Do you want to go into research or get a random job that accepts any degree? If you do have a specific job/career in mind, it's probably easier if you start with that.
