Has anyone submitted visa/tourist visa applicaition via post to London embassy? How long has it taken until passport with visa received back and can apply for COE?

I'm wondering whether to wait until Wednesday until lockdown ends and go to embassy in person, has anyone heard if the embassy is actually openning?

Thanks in advance

Comments revealed varied experiences, with one user reporting their application took a few days but noted a document issue caused delays. Additionally, suggestions were made to check the embassy's holiday schedule and their social media for updates.
