Use the official booking page for the destination you need, and check that the centre address still matches your confirmation.
Use the supplied figures as a starting point rather than a fixed itinerary. They are estimated driving distances and times calculated from Ashford's centre: 54.2 to 58.8 miles and 80 to 93 minutes for the four listed London centres. Your starting point may differ, and live traffic or road closures can change the journey. Allow a sensible buffer, especially when the appointment confirmation gives a specific arrival time.
Before setting out, compare the centre name, full address and postcode on your appointment confirmation with the official page for the destination. The London centres are not interchangeable: Italy is listed at Pocock Street, Spain at St Andrew Street, France at Ryeland Boulevard, and the other listed destinations at Wilson Street. Provider instructions can change, so recheck the applicable page shortly before travel and keep your confirmation accessible.
Match your destination and route with the named centre before leaving. Italy uses Pocock Street, France uses Ryeland Boulevard, Spain uses St Andrew Street, and the other listed Ashford routes use Wilson Street.
Bring the documents required for your visa category, your appointment confirmation and any items specified by the relevant provider. The BLS guidance specifically stresses documents and confirmation, while VFS and TLScontact also advise checking destination instructions before travel.
Treat the 80 to 93-minute figures as estimates, not guarantees. Check conditions before departure and leave room for traffic, road closures, and finding the correct building. The calculation starts from Ashford's centre, so add allowance if you begin elsewhere.
Read the current provider page and appointment confirmation on the day. Centre addresses and arrival instructions can change by destination, and the Italy guidance specifically asks applicants to check before travelling. Keep the latest details to hand.
