LSE represented mainstream British economics more than Oxbridge by the 1950s

Evidence

During the 1950s and 1960s the London School of Economics was far more representative of mainstream orthodoxy in Britain than either Oxford or Cambridge, and it was also able to project its version of modern economics to a far wider audience. By that time, however, arguments concerning the deficiencies of planning, together with its consequent inefficiencies and infringements of liberty, had moved on, since in the meantime the experience of the British economy in wartime had displaced that of World War I Germany, and the postwar welfare state and program of nationalization presented neoliberals with more immediate targets for their criticism. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 402
