They almost never interview as part of decision making. None require work experience.

I would disagree about the work experience - for those universities which read personal statements, it will be beneficial if you have one or more work experiences in a finance related area

I’m not sure which are competitive enough for it to matter? LSE maybe will factor it in. Perhaps some Scottish universities for Scottish applicants?

Durham, Edinburgh, Warwick, Exeter - all rejected plenty of UK applicants with higher than typical offer grades this year.
Durham, for example, only take 25% UK vs 75% non UK applicants for their A&F course, so anything you can do to stand out the better.
