Compare the modules and optional modules for all years of the courses and decide which one interests you the most.
Very different courses at both. Would definitely recommend you look at what is involved in the different subfields and decide if you want to focus on social/cultural anthropology only or if you also want to cover biological/material culture/medical anthropology.
As the UCL anthropology covers the whole range of anthropology subdisciplines (social/cultural, material culture, biological/physical, and medical) and as I understand you need to take courses in all of those areas. While the LSE anthropology is purely social/cultural by comparison (with some specific subfields of that area maybe less directly emphasised in many other anthropology e.g. legal and political anthropology and economic anthropology).
Also something which may or may not be of interest is UCL anthropology offers a bunch of options in documentary film/radio/narrative writing. These aren't compulsory but if it's something you're interested in may be a specific point of appeal in their course.
