A word of warning.
The Netherlands Embassy now use the "services" of VFS, and altho' you don't have to pay for the visa, you must pay VFS £24 for their "administrative services".
Additionally, you have to apply in person, and as of today, the first appointment available is for 15 August .... and please make your application well in advance (3 weeks MINIMUM, no more than 90 days before travel) because the procedure takes a minimum 15 working days (3 weeks)
... that equates to Sept 5th as your earliest travel date.
What a joke.
