TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai embassy in London is generally closed on weekends and public holidays. Although they have occasionally opened during weekends to handle a backlog, it is important to verify specific closure dates and times for the visa department through official sources.

Processing time is normally counted in working days. That said, it was clear that the embassy in London, at least for a period, worked during weekends to clear the backlog they had accumulated. Under normal circumstances, however, the embassy is closed on weekends and public holidays.

- embassy is open, but it is high season, so delays and many people take leave, so they could be short staff.

Ok, I thought you meant from now. No, it should normally have been up and running today unless there is information stating otherwise.
