I recently applied for a NLV and had my appointment at the Consulate in London on 20 October. Any idea about the likely timescale to receive the visa providing there are no problems with the paperwork.
Anyone had very recent experience of this?

Once you have attended the interview and submitted your documents the notification period can take up to 3 months, depending on how busy the consular office is.
Once approved, you will have 1 month after the notification to collect the visa in person. It is then valid for you to enter Spain within 3 months. If you enter Spain after the expiry date, you may be refused entry.

Thank you for that. I hadn't realised it could take 3 months. I thought it might be more like 3 weeks. Thank you for the link anyway.
