Canterbury applicants have London as the application city for each route listed on this page. The supplied centre information includes VFS Global sites in Pocock Street and Wilson Street, the BLS International site in St Andrew Street and a TLScontact site in Wandsworth. By the supplied distance estimate, the Pocock Street Italy centre is closest, although the Wilson Street estimate is slightly shorter in minutes. Availability changes, so use the Cancellation Finder alongside current provider instructions.
For Canterbury, the route cards supplied are Italy, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia and Finland, all using London application routes. Italy is listed with VFS Global, while Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia and Finland are also shown through VFS Global. The page should be read as a list of supported routes and centres supplied for this location, not as a complete inventory of every provider location. Confirm the destination and any jurisdiction instructions on the current provider page before selecting a route.
The nearest-centre data also names BLS International at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG, and TLScontact at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. The VFS Global London centre at 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT is associated with the listed VFS destinations. The Italy centre is at 8-20 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW. Check your confirmation for the exact destination address. The official centre pages supplied for these locations should be checked again before travel, because provider instructions can change.
From Canterbury, the supplied driving estimate to the Pocock Street Italy centre is 84 minutes, while the Wilson Street VFS centre is shown at 83 minutes. BLS International in St Andrew Street is estimated at 87 minutes, and TLScontact in Wandsworth at 101 minutes. These figures start from the centre of Canterbury and are not fixed journey promises. Traffic, road closures and your own starting point may alter them. Plan conservatively rather than scheduling a tight connection around the estimate.
London's listed addresses are in different parts of the city, and the destination determines which provider page and centre apply. Before leaving Canterbury, compare the address in the appointment confirmation with the centre card and official instructions. This matters particularly where several destinations share the Wilson Street VFS listing. Keep your documents ready, allow additional arrival margin and avoid assuming that a familiar London address serves every visa application. The supplied centre list is destination-specific, not a general London reception address.
Use the destination shown in your confirmation to identify the correct London centre. The supplied list places Italy at Pocock Street, while the other VFS destinations use Wilson Street. BLS Spain and TLScontact France have separate listed addresses, so check before setting off.
Reopen the official provider page close to your appointment date. The supplied guidance warns that provider instructions can change, and VFS addresses can vary by destination. Compare the page with your confirmation, especially if your route uses the shared Wilson Street centre.
Use the listed minutes as planning guidance only. Canterbury's centre-based estimates range from 83 to 101 minutes for the four listed London centres, while traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey. Build spare time around the appointment.
Prepare the documents required for your visa category before travelling from Canterbury. Keep the appointment confirmation with the centre address and postcode. For the BLS listing, guidance specifically refers to the documents and confirmation required for your category, so use that provider's current instructions.
