Here are the two options,
If you don't want to finish alevels, then the best option is to go and get an apprenticeship as a plumber or an electrician, the earning potential will be quite good at the end of the apprenticeship. Also you will find that the earning at the end of the apprenticeship will be adequate enough to fund the traning.
It will give you a fall back career. You won't earn alot during the apprenticeship but you will be earning hence you can start funding the PPL.
University worked for me, but I didn't have to pay tuition fees (it is something some of the posters on here seem to forget). If you do consider university then essentially you need to aim for a job in the financial sector in London; such that your earnings will clear both student debts and raise the cash for flight training in a reasonable time span.
The majority of jobs you can get at 18 with just A levels won't be that much better paid than the jobs you could get at 16 with just GCSEs.
