Social Sciences BA at KCL or Social Policy with Politics at Bristol?

I can't decide whether I should study Social Sciences BA at KCL or Social Policy with Politics Bsc at Bristol!

Which one is more prestigious?
- KCL is higher in the standings for sociology and social policy (1st) (not sure about politics)
- Bristol's course is more specialised wheras KCL's course is inter-disciplinary

Which is a better city to live in?
- I live in south London (but will not be staying at home). I love London and want a city experience, but a new one! How different is it living in central?
- I love the slightly indie vibes at Bristol (+ all the thrift shops etc.) but SO MANY HILLS
- London is SO expensive asw!
- This is an oppurtunity to go live and experience another city, is it bad if I don't take it?

Uni life
- presumably KCL is where i'd have more independence , but is independence a good thing?
- both uni's are known for being slightly stuck up with SUPER rich people, but london is more likely to be more diverse and international, right?

Thoughts????
