Imperial requires you have a minimum grade 6 in English Language as part of the proof that you can speak English fluently. However, you can just retake your GCSE English language. Make sure you get the support you're supposed to have and get it remarked too, as English is notorious for having grades jump up randomly. Check this as well: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/apply/english-language/english-language-exemption/

As for Oxbridge, you need all your grades to be 7-9 as they do check that. Again, you can retake, but consider that time spent retaking GCSEs is time not spent on your A-Lvs. There are other Unis out there that might also provide the course you want to do, but if you really want into Oxbridge or Imperial, you're going to have to do 40 hours + of revision/week + GCSE revision for your resits.
Good luck.
