And, on top of other things, first available appointment is in a months’ time! Whereas I can just walk-in into visa centre in Russia and apply.
Thanks! As a matter of fact I've sent an email to German embassy in Russia, explaining my situation. I told them that I'm in Russia for 4 weeks and asked if I can apply. I also explained that both my property and my savings are in Russia as I've only been in England for 6 months now. Hence I can't demonstrate sound financial position in the UKibwe wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 11:43 amHi iwolga!iwolga wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:59 pmThis is rather unsettling as puts me into initially unfavorable situation with savings as London embassy only accepts savings in local banks.

Given how Schengen countries are very strict and that the place to lodge an application is based on where you reside and not citizenship, I would say it's better to do it in London.
However, exceptions do exist. Since you are Russian and in Russia and can walk-in into a visa center, I would advise to just go and ask them if there is a possibility.
You might need to add a very convincing cover letter to explain your situation.
