TLDR : Answer Summary
You should apply for your NON-O visa from London within 90 days prior to your travel date to Thailand, ideally about 1 month ahead of your travel. The Thai embassy in London is efficient, typically processing applications in around 2-3 days.

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

You'll have 90 days to use your visa from the day it is issued. So that means anytime within the 90 days before you travel. Generally about 1 month ahead is fine. And London is known as one of the fastest Thai embassies in the world, normally processing applications in 2-3 days.
