King's or Cambridge for Law
I was overjoyed to see I received an offer to study Law at Cambridge today but I received an offer for King's back in December and I really love both. They're both renowned universities for law so it's a great opportunity either way. I really love London and I enjoyed King's when I visited. However I also really liked the vibe of Cambridge when I've visited and I know it's more prestigious. Aaaaaah how do I decide?

congratulations on a fantastic achievement!
I would suggest that you close your eyes and enjoy the next few years in Cambridge.

Why Cambridge instead of King's?

Because nobody will ever doubt that Cambridge was the best regarded university you were interested in for Law whereas some people won't see King's as even the best place in London for Law as LSE and UCL sometimes rank above King's for it. (even though average entry grades for Law are currently slightly highest, apart from Oxford, out of all English universities at King's. King's currently has the lowest research quality in Law out of all the aforementioned universities though. It's still higher than Nottingham's Law research quality though).
Aside from that, it's the considerable age (although the Law Faculty building at Cambridge is quite new and not really representative of Cambridge style), general alumni, perceived beauty, wealth, and traditions of Cambridge as a university. Graduate prospects on average for Cambridge Law graduates are currently slightly higher than those of King's graduates.
There is no necessary right answer for each individual though. You've got to enjoy the environment to some extent. Somewhere that may be perfect to visit as a tourist may not be as invigorating living there full time. Some do find Cambridge a bit boring in matters of normal daily life.

If you don’t mind me asking, what subjects did you take, what were your predicted grades, and what super curriculars did you do? And what tips do you have, since I also plan on applying to Cambridge should I get A*A*A or A*A*A* predicted

I got a Cambridge offer too with A*A*A predicted and A predicted in EPQ… but obviously the higher the predicted grades the better

congrats on getting an offer from Cambridge!
no one outside of the UK knows what 'Kings' is, so the answer to what you should pick is very obvious

Well known doesn't necessarily mean the better choice. Just because a uni has a good reputation doesn't mean it's the right fit for everyone
