London timelines under “new rules” are usually embassy-specific and lag the headline by weeks. Asking isn’t too soon if you’re document-ready — what’s early is treating two or three anecdotes as a reliable pattern. Useful signal: whether they asked for extras (ACRO, funds proof, Soft Power activity docs) and how long from submission to decision. Copy the process, not the calendar.

I’m not treating them as a reliable pattern as I know everyone’s cases are different, just wanted to know how how quick it could currently get processed ☺️

Fair ask. “How quick can it get” right now is still embassy- and file-specific — London Soft Power lately looks more like weeks with extras (ACRO, funds path, activity docs) than a clean same-week stamp. The useful benchmark isn’t the fastest anecdote; it’s submission-complete → first request for more info → decision. If your stack is already coherent, you’re measuring the queue, not hoping the calendar compresses.
