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.

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.
