How much do London unis consider GCSEs?

I want to apply to unis like KCL and UCL for business management, however, since it's very competitive, I'm scared my GCSE results aren't good enough. I got:
Maths- 7
chemistry- 7
physics- 7
bio- 6
English lit- 9
English language- 7
citizenship- 6
hospitality and catering- L2D
design technology- 8

For my a levels I'm taking English lit, psychology, law and history however I'm planning to drop History after AS levels. Based on my GCSEs am I likely to get an offer?
