What route of education to become a quant?

I'm currently an 18 year old from the UK. I originally applied to Cambridge, LSE, UCL for economics in hoping to enter finance and investment banking. However, will doing economics restrict me in being able to become a quant?

Will I be restricted doing a bachelor's is an economics course that is very mathematical like Cambridge, LSE or UCL after which I would hope to do a masters such as MSc Financial Mathematics?

Out of the question. Are you serious or is this just another troll post?
