I am 15 years old living in the Uk and i plan to leave sixth form in two years time with A* A-Levels in Sociology, Physics, Further Maths, Maths, and Chemistry and AS in biology and General studies. I would then hope to go to Cambridge, Imperial college, or Edinburgh University to study Physics, Physics with maths, or Theoretical physics. After doing an Msc in this field What should my next step be?

I really like physics and QM gets me really excited. I wouldn't be particularly interested in Engineering or finance type jobs.

Any ideas or am i thinking too far ahead.

Your next step should be go live your life. Any advice you get today will be forgotten or out of context within a few months or years.
 
So I shouldn't be thinking too much about this stuff?
