I'm afraid nobody can tell you exactly - every case is individual, and
it takes as long as it takes. The INZ website for London branch has a processing times page, and that gives you an estimate based on recent averages - but INZ times are NEVER a promise, and have to be accepted as being elastic. It's not safe to book flights and assume everything will be in order by a certain date, because you might get into far more expense than you looked to save in the first place by having to change things if the visas weren't in place in time. And you can't use one-way flights on visitors' visas.
