I think you still have a chance at the top schools. I don't think age matters much; just that you have SOME professional experience that you can bring into the classroom, and also show the school that you will be hire-able after you finish the MBA. Two years is usually enough, unless the schools have a rigid work experience minimum. True, that some in the UK do have a minimum, but I suspect that most don't.

Well it actully depends on what kind or MBA program you are looking for coz most of the A rated B-School would require minimum of 3+ years of good work exp and they are expensive too.. but if you are ok with B rated universities then you are eligible for most of them.
Your academic background also plays an important role in admission process.
