Can I afford to go to KCL or UCL as a low-income household?

My dream university is King's College in London, it has been for 4 years now, but my household's annual income is roughly £26,000. This is slightly above the threshold to receive lots on financial support. My mum can't provide any financial support for me at all despite this, as she has other bills (mortgage, etc) and my younger brother. I've already been told by her I will have to look at unis where I can live at home but these ones have bad reps and don't require the high grades I worked hard for. Could I afford to go to King's College London with the bursaries and loans they provide or will I have to forget these and look elsewhere?

Where do you live? What bursaries do King's (or UCL) provide?

I mean, I don't think I'll be saying where I live, but the main uni here is the butt of many jokes and nobody around here aspires to go there. I can't recall off the top of my head which bursaries they provide, that was partly what I wanted to know, if another low-income student had gone there and their experience of the support

Serious question - which course?

From what you say regarding household income and having a dependant sibling, I think you would be eligible for the maximum loan for a student studying in London and not living at home - currently around £13,002 - as student finance deduct an amount (around £1,000) from parental income for any child that is dependant on them.
