Honestly unless you're a mega bug-man autistic gunner aiming for the best of the best of the best (and you lack the self-reflection to realise why this point of view is ultimately pointless and detrimental to your development as a person and philosophy), I'd say just enjoy the ride and don't burn yourself out.
Medicine is going to feel fun and exciting and wacky and tough in your first couple of years. Wow you've got this fancy new stethoscope and you're actually learning about diseases and all these cool things that no one else in the world can ever come close to doing. You'll fix up your life, turn into a mega productivity machine, maybe even leave 4chan, who knows.
A few years later... and you'll start finding the self-doubt setting in. Did I pick the right profession? Am I even meant to be here? Why didn't I pick something else? What am I even aiming for in life?
And it is at this point that you'll look up and realise just how much of life you've let idly pass you by... friends getting married, the world around you changing everyday etc. And when you reach that point, you'll come back to 4chan and you'll write out the exact same thing I've written here to another shiny-eyed, bushy-tailed 1st year.
So fuck it, enjoy your first couple of years in med school. Work hard, make sure you keep on top of coursework, but besides that just enjoy life and don't let the course take that away from you. Keep up your hobbies, fuck some girls (or guys, in which case, you know the rules..), explore, go on trips. And don't ever forget that no matter what, no matter who you end up becoming, the hospital doesn't give a single flying fuck about you. There are always going to be sick patients, there is always going to be someone picking up the mantle to treat them... and if you make it through in 5-6 years time, one day it'll be you, but all the same it doesn't matter.
TL;DR fuck UCL/Barts, you're fine
