Does anyone have experience applying to a mathematics degree with Art A level?

My daughter has taken A level Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Art. She has 4 A* predicted in the subjects and she has already taken A level Maths in year 12 and secured A*. She is applying to LSE, Imperial, UCL, King's and Warwick. Does anyone have any experience if any of these universities will give an offer including Art A level or would they exclude it?

Thank you,

They're not going to "exclude" it because it's art. It's still an A-level.

However usually unis make offers based on just 3 A-levels (although they can set a four A-level offer). For maths they don't normally care what the third (and/or fourth if applicable) subject is. I suspect she'll get the standard offer with the required grades in maths and FM specified and the third grade would be in whatever subject. So the A-level Art grade may not end up being a relevant part of the application if she meets the requirements with the other three subjects.

Of course they can set a 4 A-level offer at their discretion in which case it would necessarily form part of any offer conditions.
