I haven't looked at every single Chamber's websites in London, so there is a slight bit of ignorance here, but nevertheless; nearly all the chambers I have looked at are swarming with Oxbridge graduates.
The fact that Oxbridge dominates the bar isn't new and this topic is discussed quite frequently; however, I didn't realize the extent to which this was true. I think I found one LSE graduate in all the members I looked at.
If this is the case across all of London (which I hope it isn't) then it seems like your place in a London chambers is still extremely difficult to acquire even if you are in a top 10 university.
On the brightside, a few of the chambers I looked at in regional cities such as Bristol and Leeds had much more versatility in terms of educational background. It's a shame though, because I love London.
Are all chambers in London considered the best? Or do the chambers have somewhat of a hierarchy? There must be a few chambers in central London which may have less of an established reputation, but are more lenient in terms of their recruitment.
