It's not clear if they'll be waiting until the end of the year.

David Cameron said he was going to wait for his replacement to start Article 50, and he would step down in October. Now that he's announced that he's stepping down tomorrow, we'll have a new prime minister much more quickly than anticipated. That might mean Article 50 could be coming within the next few weeks/months.

As there are already legal challenges to whether the PM can declare Article 50 without a new Act of Parliament [1] and that Parliament goes into Summer recess on July 21st until 5th September [2] then struggling to see how we're going to start much before end of September at the earliest.
