Obviously not that great (but by no means bad either), but should definitely be competitive enough especially if you have excellent A Level predicted grades! Of course depends where you are applying too.

These grades seem fine, I wouldn't say it would be a big problem!
Goodluck!

I am considering of applying to Econ and Econ History next year. However, since its LSE, they will probably care about gcses even if it is not as competitive as say pure Econ.

You would need to achieve A grades in Maths and Economics and A grades in History and Further Maths to be competitive applicant. Also LSE places a huge emphasis on seeing applicants produce a 'stellar' UCAS Personal Statement. So work hard on achieving 3 A* and 1A grades and a unique Personal Statement.

I would also recommend applying post A-Level with your grades achieved.😉

Are you also applying to Oxford? UCL? Durham? Bristol? Manchester? Nottingham? KCL? SOAS? QMUL?

Hi These are great GCSE's and give you plenty of options for applying for Economics at a range of universities including SOAS. SOAS has a great economics degree programme because it not only teaches microeconomics and macroeconomics but also allows you to study regional economics and economic development of a variety of regions from Asia, Africa to the Middle East. Here's more information about the course https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/bsc-economics and if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them!
