Manchester vs Imperial for physics

Hi, I need to decide between these two unis for physics but I'm absolutely stuck between the two!

I know for sectors like Investment Banking...

Chemical Engineering: Manchester or Imperial

Hi, I currently hold offers from both Manchester and Imperial to study Chem Eng next year but can't decide where to go.

How difficult are labs/experimental work in an undergraduate physics degree?

I'm going to Manchester next year to study Physics. There is no opportunity for redoing any lab work in case of a bad mark.
