UK visa validity for Indian in Berlin, Germany
I am Indian working in Berlin. My visa is valid until November 10th, 2018.
I'm planning to visit London. If I apply for a 6-month UK visa requesting a date from end of September. Can I leave Berlin the first week of November and stay in London for a while (~2 months, until New Year) and return to India from there directly?
My concern: since my German visa expires on November 10, will it influence the UK visa dates? Will the UK embassy set the end date of the UK visa to November 10 too?

The edit makes this a different question - to me at least, and judging from the comment there's at least some agreement that my original answer (which had attracted one upvote, so it can't have been terribly far off) doesn't answer the edited question. My original answer is still present below.
When deciding whether they want to give you a visa the UK authorities looks at you and your circumstances. As they include the likelihood you'll leave the UK, where you can go might actually influence it. There are a lot more factors involved, so we can't guess what the UK authorities will do.
Original answer (to the unedited question):
Your plan involves leaving Schengen (Germany) before your Schengen visa expires, and being in the UK for a period where you'll have a visa for being there, so yes, you can do that (if you get that UK visa of course).
