Exeter vs QMUL for Computer science?

Hello, I have an offer from each university at the same grades, but I wanted to know which would be better? I have looked at the course and they're both pretty good. Locations are good too. Accomodation is more expensive in London, but I have heard that london universities get more recognition. However, I have also heard that QMUL is the weakest university out of the Russel groups. So, which university would be better in prestigiousness and course teaching wise for computer science?

Assessing "prestigiousness" is not easy, but of these two I'd say Exeter is regarded better.

According to the National Student Survey, as published by The Uni Guide, the quality of Exeter's teaching is better than QMUL's for Computer Science.
