Cannock applicants have supported appointment options in Manchester, with a further Spain route listed in London. The first Manchester centre shown is the TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, while VFS Global and BLS International provide the remaining listed destinations. This page explains which routes connect to each centre, how the supplied driving estimates should be read, and how to prepare. The Cancellation Finder sends email and SMS notifications about relevant availability changes, but current provider instructions remain essential.
France is linked to the TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. The centre guidance places it close to Piccadilly Gardens and asks applicants to check the France provider page for appointment-specific arrival instructions. The VFS Global Manchester centre at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH, is linked to Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. Check the destination-specific VFS page because instructions may differ between routes before making travel plans for the day.
Spain has two supported choices in the supplied list. BLS International's Manchester centre is Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF, while the London BLS centre is at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. The Manchester entry is linked to the Spain route from Manchester and the London entry to the Spain route from London. BLS guidance says to check current submission time and courier requirements before travelling for your appointment and visa category.
The listed driving estimates from the centre of Cannock are 90 minutes to both Manchester centres, 91 minutes to the BLS Spain centre in Salford and 165 minutes to the London BLS centre. They are calculated estimates, not a live travel timetable. Traffic, road closures and your own starting point may change the result, so check the journey close to appointment day and leave sensible extra time for arrival and possible delays at the building.
Manchester offers the shorter listed estimates for Cannock, but the right centre depends on the destination and provider, not just the city. Use M1 3BE for the TLScontact location, M12 6JH for VFS Global, and M3 5PF for BLS International in Salford. If using the London Spain option, plan against EC4A 3AG and read the BLS confirmation carefully. Addresses and provider instructions should be checked again before setting off, because a booking confirmation is more specific than a general city reference.
Check the destination before choosing Manchester. TLScontact covers France, VFS Global covers Italy, Netherlands and Portugal, and BLS International covers Spain. The provider and destination should match the route shown in your appointment confirmation, especially where more than one Manchester centre is listed.
Note the address and postcode, not only the city name, and save them with your confirmation. The TLScontact centre is on Portland Street, VFS Global is on Devonshire Street North, and BLS is in Salford.
Ask the relevant provider about current submission timing before travelling. The Manchester BLS guidance also refers to courier requirements, while the France centre points applicants to appointment-specific arrival instructions. Do not assume that one provider's process, timing or document arrangement applies to another.
Keep the London alternative in view only if the Manchester Spain option suits your circumstances and booking. The London BLS centre is at 20 St Andrew Street, EC4A 3AG. Compare the confirmed destination, address and estimated journey before committing to a longer trip.
