Imperial College or Cambridge University. Both have excellent CS departments and lots of interesting research going on.

And if you end up going to Imperial, I'll see you in October!

Cambridge has the advantage that people outside the UK don't know whether you mean Cambridge, UK or Cambridge, Massachusetts. So it's almost like you went to MIT as well.

(Tongue firmly in cheek.)

I went to Imperial and while it's deeply boring (for a practical person like myself, there is a LOT of theory) it is a really great course and it will set you up for a life of further learning which is after all what is important.

I've not met students from ANY other university that had such a broad and complete introduction to Software Engineering.

Definitely Imperial over Cambridge for CS (as well as most engineering and science).
