Is breaking into London easier from a UK strong Semi or a Europe Target?

I'll be attending either Warwick PPE/EPP or Bocconi International Economics and Management this fall and my absolute primary goal is breaking into IB in London after looking at IB salaries in Milan. Competition at both unis will likely be very high, and Warwick I believe is less targeted than Bocconi, but I have the geography advantage being in the same country, and most students from my course (at Warwick) are looking to get into consulting. So, as Title reads, what option would be better? IE&M at SDA Bocconi or PPE Warwick?

Important to note I am a South Asian queer man that will need sponsorship for a work visa. What companies should I aim at applying for? Heard from somebody that only BBs would sponsor a work visa, unsure of if demographics would give me any boost or not.in hiring. 

Which Uni?

Would go to Warwick. It is in the UK easier to get sponsorship. Plus Warwick will be more known than Bocconi for the average HR. Don't risk ending up in Italy without the opportunity of having a visa sponsorship in the UK...
