It is difficult to give you an answer: we all choose one LLM and we can testify only for this LLM.
It depends on so many -personal- factors: the reputation of the university in your country, modules you want to attend, alumni in law firms you would like to apply and so on...
Personally I choose the LLM in International Financial Law at KCL and I have no regret. It is a great experience and I have met wonderful people from 63 countries! In France KCL is very prestigious (better than UCL, QMUL or LSE) and according to rankings the LLM in Financial Law is one of the best worldwide (5th according to this website). I wanted to expand my knowledge in financial regulation and I took very interesting modules like EU Financial Regulation, Financial Risk, Stability & Regulation and also Competition Law in Financial Services. Some other students are focus on "pure" financial law and Professor Ravi Teneekoon is a top gun for them. Look all the modules available on the website. What I like at KCL is that I can choose all my modules: I also decided to take Negotiation, Global Law in Climate Change... even though they are not directly linked to financial law!
For all my modules my professors have invited guest lecturers and it was very well appreciated.
It is also important to say that KCL, the KCL Law Society and the Post Graduate Law Society organize a lot (it is impressive) of events with firms, law firms or social activities. I know it is not the same for all universities.
At KCL we also have a good relationship with LSE law students and we have some events together. In contrast, we never met any UCL or QMUL students at events organized by LSE, KCL or law firms.
I hope it helps and that students from other universities will do the same ;-)
