I got my provisional approval in March whilst on holiday in HNL. I had another holiday to the States booked for June but the earliest appointment I could get was mid July which turned out to be OK. London appointments are great news.
As an aside my interview was one of the friendliest I have had.

I'll add this: I've already gone through the five-year renewal. I did it all online and did not need an interview. It did cost me another $100, though, but that's OK with me.

How long does it usually take from submitting the application to getting approval?

Canadians who get NEXUS automatically get GE as well - there is a joint interview with Canadian and U.S. border agents. Best 50 bucks I ever spent. Arriving at YYZ is a nightmare, it once took me 1.5 hours to get through Immigration, the place was woefully understaffed, overheated and utterly miserable, so NEXUS is brilliant. Have used GE at BOS which I didn't realize was just as bad as YYZ for queueing times - AND an enormous queue to exit the baggage hall - only by chance did I spot the GE exit lane.

Being a bit thick here, where do you apply?
Had a look at the Home Office website and unless I've missed something, I can't see anything other than UK Visas or is that it?

Paragraph 5 has a link to the GOV.UK page to get a UK background check so that you can apply for the Global Entry scheme

Grr, the site is now telling me that there are no available appointments in london - not just say 6 months down the line - nope - not possible to schedule something in London. V annoyed - I managed to lock myself out of my account yesterday by trying to change my password and using something that wasn't acceptable to the system 3 times (weird), and now... I'm left with an appointment in April in Boston which is just something picked at random which I am 99% sure I won't be able to go to.
If anyone sees that appointments have opened up again in London, I'd be grateful for a shout!

Did the Home Office application yesterday morning and got the code this morning.
Now to see if I can actually get an appointment after going through the GOES site. I assume you pay the $100 then and there and not once they accept you and ask you to book an appointment?
