Answer summary
The best option for moving to Thailand as a spouse of a Thai citizen is to apply for a Non-O visa. It's advised to start the application as soon as possible, especially since the Thai embassy in London can process it efficiently, often within a week. This visa grants 90 days of entry and permission to stay in Thailand. Upon arrival, it's important to open a bank account quickly and maintain a balance of 400,000 THB for two months to qualify for a one-year extension of stay.

Apply for the non-O visa based on married to Thai as soon as possible.
The Thai embassy in London is very efficient and you should have it in probably less than a week.
It will be valid to enter Thailand for 90 days and when you enter you'll receive 90 days permission to stay.
Once you arrive in Thailand try to open a bank account as quickly as possible. You need the 400,000 to be in your account for 2 full months when you apply for the 1-year extension so you have less than a month to get it opened and funded and still be able to apply for extension.
