Is there a prestige difference between kcl and ucl from a lawyers perspective.

I have to choose between two similar degrees - classical archeology at ucl and classics at kings - with an aim of converting to law post completion of either one.

The unis excel in the respective field of each degree and I know I will enjoy both too (although I would focus the archeology degree less on the practical aspects, to align closer with relevant transferable skills).

The legal extracurricular opportunites provided seem on par with each other so this is also not a deciding factor.

Therefore to decide, I wanted to know if any current lawyers think one uni is at all better than the other for somone wanting to convert down the line!

Also any other advice would be greatly appreciated in regards to if one degree might be more useful than the other for a career as a barrister or solicitor (perspectives on both would be valuable).
