Planning a visa appointment from Grimsby means comparing supported destinations with the centres listed in Manchester and London.

The Manchester group gives Grimsby applicants three provider choices. TLScontact at 1 Portland Street serves the France route. VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North is linked to Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. BLS International at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, serves Spain. The supplied estimates put these journeys at roughly 132 to 135 minutes by car from the centre of Grimsby, but the figures are estimates and can change with traffic, road closures and your starting point.
The London listing is the VFS Global London Visa Application Centre at 66 Wilson Street, EC2A 2BT. The route list on this page includes Austria, Croatia and Cyprus for that centre, with an estimated driving journey of 226 minutes from the centre of Grimsby. Centre addresses can vary by destination, so treat the address as route-specific and check the destination's VFS instructions alongside the appointment confirmation before setting out. Use the official page named for the relevant destination to confirm current details before you travel.
Manchester is the shorter practical choice in the supplied list, but the exact centre depends on destination and provider. The France route uses TLScontact, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal use VFS Global, and Spain uses BLS International. Their addresses are in different parts of Manchester and Salford, so allow time to identify the correct building rather than relying on the city name alone. Use the postcode in your confirmation and recheck the provider page before leaving.
For the listed Manchester centres, the supplied driving estimates range from 132 to 135 minutes from the centre of Grimsby. The London estimate is 226 minutes. These are not fixed promises for an individual journey: live traffic, road closures and your starting point may alter the result. Build a buffer around the appointment, check the exact arrival instructions, and avoid treating the estimate as a guaranteed arrival time or assuming the centre's arrangements without checking before setting off.
France is linked to TLScontact Manchester, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal to VFS Global Manchester, and Spain to BLS International Manchester. For London, the listed routes are Austria, Croatia and Cyprus. Confirm the destination and provider before saving any appointment details.
Manchester has three named centres in the supplied list, including a Salford address for BLS International. Check the full street address and postcode in the provider confirmation, since the correct building depends on the destination and provider attached to your appointment.
The listed driving times are estimates from the centre of Grimsby. Traffic, road closures and your own starting point can change the journey, so plan a buffer. Do not use the figure as a promise that you will reach the centre at a set time.
Save the relevant official provider page and appointment confirmation together. TLScontact asks applicants to check France arrival instructions, VFS directs applicants to destination-specific guidance, and BLS asks travellers to check submission time and courier requirements. Recheck these details before travel.
