I applied with London Embassy on the 1st (in the evening), supplied additional documents on the 3rd and got approved today at 6pm! I think it went to pending approval stage on the 16th. Hope that helps, good luck!

Its high season now so London appears to be taking a few weeks. If they have Facebook messenger that's the best way to contact them

Applied from London myself, didn't have to reach back out to them but it certainly can't do any harm. I'd suggest both an email detailing and re-affirming (with attachments) your flight date and times and politely requesting an expediated review. Call them to follow this up once emailed. No guarantees either way but a polite call can't do any harm. the sooner the better too with it being the holiday season.
