In the UK students may travel to the opposite end of the country to 
study, so someone based in West London might study in Bristol or Durham, 
even Belfast or Edinburgh. Imperial and UCL are good colleges, but they 
aren't the only good ones.

As a jobseeker without a degree I'll make a plea to employers to look 
carefully at the brief they give to agencies and to only specify that a 
degree is required if it really is necessary, which shouldn't be so for 
any except junior jobs.
