Trinity College Dublin vs UCL/KCL/Warwick for undergraduate maths

Hi,
I currently hold offers for undergrad maths in Trinity College Dublin, KCL, UCL and Warwick. In terms of the quality of teaching and opportunities, which university would be considered better?

Trinity admits about 45 maths students per year & is a 4 year course, Warwick ~300 & UCL might even be bigger & are 3 years. With unis beware of research metrics influence on 'rankings' for an undergrad course involving essentially zero research.

There might be a marginal advantage in maths for W over UCL, but less important than whether you like the idea of several years in London or Warwick...or Dub.
Kings is supposedly a bit meh.

I go to KCL, and the teaching, research quality, and career support here are fantastic. We’re regularly informed about relevant conferences/seminars outside of our lectures, and there are frequent career fairs. London is also great for events/talks/conferences related to any academic field.
