Oxford and Cambridge are definitely within reach if you do reasonably well on the GMAT. If you score a 660 or above, you have a reasonable shot, and if you score 700+ you should have a pretty good shot. And by all means give LBS a try - yes, it's a stretch but I think you can afford to apply to more than just 2 schools; in fact, since the admissions process can be a numbers game, you should apply to 4-6 schools in order to yield 1-3 acceptances. If you apply to less than 4 schools, it becomes even more of a gamble. So look at LBS, Oxford, Cambridge; maybe look into INSEAD, some of the Spanish schools (IE, ESADE, IESE), HEC, Bocconi or maybe schools like Cranfield (honestly I don't know too much about Cranfield but it seems to be one of the better known UK schools ouside of LBS, Oxford and Cambridge).
