Are tuition Costs the actual tuition costs?

For some reference, I'm an international student from the US applying to schools in the UK. most schools here will offer scholarships and financial needs, to the point where the actual tuition cost is quite a bit less than the listed tuition cost. Does this also apply to the UK? For example, I'm looking at Imperial college London costing 40k a year. Will this be the amount I would end up paying, or are there opportunities to lower it?
