The best way to invest this money?

[Marmot]

I've been left some money by a family member who recently passed away, and I'm looking for some advice on the best way to invest it. It's currently sat in a savings account earning sod all (0.7% AER (0.56% Net)) and I want to move it out of there ASAP. I'm young and not opposed to a bit of risk, however gambling it on the day markets would feel a little disrespectful and quite frankly I don't know enough about Stocks to yield a return. I've had a small amount of money invested in the 'Fundsmith' T Class Accumulator since shortly after inception, and it has provided modest returns, however this is a considerable amount more and thus requires more thought.

For those of you who are investment-savvy, if you had 50k to invest, what would you do?

I eventually plan to use it on a deposit, but I'm currently still at University and will be graduating and moving to London in June. Because of this it's unlikely I'll be given a mortgage any time soon, and thus need something to do with the money until buying is an option. Thanks for the advice so far guys.
