When we talk about UoL on Coursera, it's University of London Worldwide program. It's an unranked distance learning institution.

Interesting. Didn't know the "Worldwide" part. Does the actual degree or marksheet reference "Worldwide", though?

The University of London is the parent institution for a large number of London colleges. To include King's College, LSE, UCL, SOAS, among others. Of interest to this forum are probably distance PhD's from Birkbeck (UoL's answer to Harvard Extension School) with tuition in the 4000 a year range. Each college has its own focus and set of degree programs, though as an in-person student you can take classes at the other colleges.

Diplomas from any one of the constituent colleges don't have the college name but are awarded by the University of London. Think of it like the Harvard colleges and Harvard University. They also directly award degrees (not only through Coursera, and not only via distance).

To be honest, this user has posted absolute sh*t about universities in the UK that has no basis in reality before, and likely will continue to do so.

I do agree I wouldn't pay $20,000 for a degree via Goldsmith's though. First, UK universities generally have specialties - they aren't generalists like US colleges. Second, this is even more true when it comes to the UoL constituent colleges. Goldsmith's specialty is not tech-related anything. Do the TESU Comp Sci route and apply to grad school. If you want to have a decent chance at an overseas grad school, dual degree BA Math and Comp Sci (the level of math needed for the BA Math at TESU is pretty close to the level of Math needed to get into uni in the UK for Comp Sci undergrad).
