The supplied Colchester figures are estimated driving distances and times from the town centre reference point. The London options range from 58.3 miles and 85 minutes for VFS Global to 66.1 miles and 113 minutes for TLScontact. BLS Spain and VFS Italy sit between those figures. These are not live journey promises: traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can affect the time, so leave sensible contingency.
Match the destination on your confirmation to the correct London address. VFS says its addresses can vary by destination; BLS says to attend with the documents and confirmation required for your visa category; and TLScontact asks applicants to check the France route page and confirmation. Review each current provider page before departing Colchester and make sure the listed centre matches your booking on the day.
Check the postcode as well as the city before leaving. The supplied London centres are at Wilson Street, St Andrew Street, Pocock Street and Ryeland Boulevard, so a booking showing London alone is not enough to identify the venue. Keep the confirmation ready for checking.
For VFS Global, read the page for your destination because the supplied guidance says addresses may vary. For BLS Spain, check the required documents and appointment confirmation. For TLScontact France, review the route page and confirmation before travel, since availability and instructions can change.
Use the 58.3-mile, 85-minute VFS estimate to plan, not to predict an exact arrival. The figure starts from Colchester's centre and can change with traffic, road closures or your own starting point. Allow contingency and check the provider's arrival guidance before setting out.
The VFS London record is linked only to the routes shown in the supplied listing. If your destination is not one of those named there, do not infer the Wilson Street address from another source. Confirm the correct centre and booking page with the provider.
