TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for an METV visa at the Thailand Embassy in London typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. Experiences shared by users suggest that most visas are issued within less than a week, but it can take up to 15 days. It's worth noting that if you are concerned about the visa validity period starting from the issuance date, you may want to request the embassy to time the issuance closer to your travel date.
Just take a minute and rethink if you REALLY want a METV issued as fast as possible after you have applied for it
I would email the embassy after submitting the application and kindly ask them to issue the visa as close as possible to my flight date to Thailand . . .
. . . because I want to lose as little as possible of the 6 month visa validity days, which start on the day the METV gets issued
