For applicants in Cardiff, the supplied centre list points to London as the application city for every listed route. The closest supported centre by supplied distance is the TLScontact London Visa Application Centre in Wandsworth, linked to France. The Cancellation Finder also lists Spain, Italy and VFS Global destinations from London. As availability changes and journey estimates reach 200 minutes, confirm current provider instructions against the official page and appointment confirmation before committing to travel.
The supplied list contains four supported London centres. France uses TLScontact at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. Spain uses BLS International at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. Italy uses VFS Global at 8-20 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW, while the other listed VFS destinations use 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT. Check the destination-specific centre before travelling, using the official confirmation as your reference.
Cardiff's listed London routes cover France through TLScontact; Italy through VFS Global; Spain through BLS International; and Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark through VFS Global. Each supplied route record shows a £24.99 base price and 30-day duration. These are the routes displayed for this page, not a statement that every provider centre is included. Confirm eligibility and application location through current official guidance before booking for your visit.
From Cardiff centre, the TLScontact location is listed at 149.4 miles and 186 minutes. BLS Spain and VFS Italy are each 151.7 miles, with estimates of 195 and 194 minutes respectively. The VFS London centre is 153 miles and 200 minutes. These supplied figures are estimated driving distances and times; traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey in practice.
A London appointment from Cardiff needs careful timing, so confirm the centre address attached to the destination before setting out. TLScontact's France guidance, BLS International's Spain page and VFS Global's destination pages are separate official references. The VFS London guidance also says addresses can vary by destination. Check that your intended application belongs in London and keep the confirmation available when planning the return journey before departure.
Your confirmation should match the destination, provider and centre address. Cardiff has separate listed London locations for TLScontact, BLS International and VFS Global, and VFS addresses can vary by destination. Recheck the official page before travelling, rather than using a saved address from another application.
The Cardiff estimates range from 186 to 200 minutes and are calculated from Cardiff centre. Add sensible contingency for traffic and road closures, and account for your starting point. A cancellation is only useful if you can reach the confirmed centre at the booked time.
Prepare the documents required for your visa category and keep the appointment confirmation accessible. Check the current official guidance for France, Spain or your selected VFS destination, including the application location. The supplied centre notes make destination-specific instructions especially important for a journey from Cardiff.
