More details to this question:
Hey I am an Indian Citizen currently working on STEM OPT and I got my H1B approved by the USCIS. I got my weeding in December 2022 and my Visa is expiring in June 2022. In order to come back to states I need my first ever H1B stamping to be done but unfortunately there are no slots available in India. Canada and Mexico is not the option. So can you let me know if I can get my stamping done in London and If not where can I get done quicker safer and faster. I just want to get married and come back to states in January 2023

Unless you have a clear connection with the UK, you may find that the embassy will be less than sympathetic to a request for an H-1B visa appointment as third country cases are generally disfavored. You may wish to continue monitoring the situation in India to see if a slot opens up, and if it does, to grab it. Hopefully, you will be able to obtain a slot to fulfill your plans of returning to the US in January.
