Although your decision is purly down to your situation there are some points i'd consider.
You say you studied computer science, you'll find that more and more 'design' jobs are asking for graphic design/ IA /HCI experience/qualifications so that tells you you need a design qualificvation. Computer science grads do get pigeon holed into dev jobs. However, the further into your career you go the less relavent your education is. If you're doing grapically elegant work that's a DDA masterpeice for the public sector then your on your way to a design job in the rigth kind of agency already.
Then there's your subject of choice. Graphic design. I'm not sure what LCC offer but you might be going too far down the graphic design route. Ravenbourne do a good interaction design degree I think as do some other London unis. Have you considered that? As i'm sure you know the skills involved in web design career are very different from those of a traditional graphic design education. Hope this helps.
