Yes, LSE recommends applying before January 2025. LSE also say that they prefer the October sitting of TMUA test and LNAT before January 2025 too.

I wonder which subject you're considering at the LSE? 😧
As long as you apply pre-deadline then your chances of getting an offer are exactly the same.

Their recommendation to apply early is just so you receive a prompt decision (and help them to start benchmarking earlier).
There is no advantage applying earlier, universities are contractually required by UCAS to consider all applicants who apply before the equal consideration deadline in January equally.

They may specify you need to take certain admissions assessments by a particular date however.
