Applicants in Bournemouth using the supported visa routes listed here will need to plan for a London application-centre visit. The nearest listed centre is the TLScontact London Visa Application Centre in Wandsworth, while Italy, Spain and several other destinations use separate London locations. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications when appointment availability changes for a selected route. Applicants must compare the centre address with their confirmation and confirm the provider's current instructions before travelling.
The nearest supported listing is the TLScontact London Visa Application Centre, 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. Its supplied estimate is 107.8 miles and 126 minutes by driving from the centre of Bournemouth, and it is linked to France. Other listed options are the VFS Global Italy centre at 8-20 Pocock Street, the BLS Spain centre at 20 St Andrew Street, and VFS Global at 66 Wilson Street.
On the supplied route list, London covers France with TLScontact, Italy with VFS Global, and Spain with BLS International. The VFS Global London listing also covers Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark. The listed route entries link to official booking pages, but check the destination's official guidance and current provider instructions to confirm the correct UK process for your circumstances before selecting or booking an appointment.
The four listed centres are all in London, but they are not at one shared address. The France centre is in Wandsworth; Italy is on Pocock Street; Spain is on St Andrew Street; and the VFS Global London address is on Wilson Street. Use the postcode printed in your confirmation, especially for a VFS destination, because the supplied guidance says addresses can vary by destination.
The estimates from Bournemouth range from 107.8 to 109.5 miles and from 126 to 146 minutes by driving, depending on the centre. They were calculated from the centre of Bournemouth, not from every applicant's address. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point may change the journey, so allow a practical buffer and recheck the appointment details before setting out. Build in some variation.
Match the provider, destination and address in your appointment confirmation before leaving Bournemouth. London has separate listed centres for France, Italy, Spain and the other VFS destinations, so do not assume one London address applies to every booking.
Take the documents required for your visa category and the appointment confirmation. For Spain, follow BLS International's stated requirements; for France and Italy, check the relevant provider page. For a VFS booking, use the destination-specific instructions supplied for that route.
Treat 126 to 146 minutes as estimated driving times, not fixed arrival times. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can change the trip from Bournemouth. Plan a sensible margin, then check the provider's latest arrival instructions before you travel.
