This is a very specific question, and one without a specific answer. You can attend ANY college or sixth form which offers you the qualifications you need to be able to get into medicine (usually A-Level chemistry, + 2/3 other A-Level qualifications).
Universities do not care that you came from College A, Sixth Form B, or Sixth Form College C - as long as you have the correct qualifications and experience to match. Likewise, there is no way to say College A has a better medicine acceptance rate than Sixth Form B. It is down to you, and what you can do!

This is also down to your local area. There is no point in anyone here suggesting a sixth-form or college in Birmingham, if you say live in Central London. You need to look locally to where you live - what sixth-forms or colleges are near you? What qualifications do they offer? If they offer A-Levels in sciences then that’s what you’re looking for!
Remember. You also need to study there for 2 years, it must also be somewhere you would enjoy studying at, and where you feel you would fit in.

Remember this. Medicine (like all health or care courses) is about you. Your character, your qualities, your values, and behaviours. Your qualities will always take precedence over where you’ve studied in life, who your teachers were, or where you lived.
