Hinckley applicants have a supported Spain route in London and five Manchester routes covering France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. The nearest supported centre shown here is the BLS Spain Visa Application Centre in London at 20 St Andrew Street, while the Manchester options are spread across TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS International locations. Use the Cancellation Finder for the destination you need, then check current provider guidance, jurisdiction details and travel estimates before fixing an appointment day.
The nearest supported centre listed for Hinckley is BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, London, at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. Its listed driving estimate is 129 minutes from Hinckley's location centre. Manchester also has TLScontact at 1 Portland Street, VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North and BLS International at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford. Their listed estimates are 128, 128 and 129 minutes respectively, so allow for variation when arranging the appointment journey.
Destination coverage is split between cities and providers. London offers Spain through BLS International. Manchester offers France through TLScontact, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, and Spain through BLS International. Check the destination-specific official guidance before choosing a centre, including any jurisdiction instructions relevant to your application. The supported centres shown here are not a complete list of every possible UK option. Use the listed city and provider combination that matches the route you select.
London's BLS centre is listed at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG, while the three Manchester or Salford addresses belong to different providers. Do not treat the city label as the full destination: compare the provider name, street address and postcode in your confirmation. BLS, TLScontact and VFS Global each provide route-specific guidance, so check the correct page before travel. This matters because Manchester has more than one listed centre for this page.
Hinckley's listed driving estimates are close across the London and Manchester options, but the figures are calculated from the centre of Hinckley. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey. The London BLS option is listed at 129 minutes, while Manchester is listed at 128 or 129 minutes depending on the centre. Use these as planning references, not promises. Check the appointment confirmation and current provider page before setting off.
Because London is the nearest supported centre by the supplied distance ordering, compare it with the Manchester routes before choosing a destination. The London option is Spain only, while Manchester covers France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain through the listed providers.
Check whether your appointment is at 20 St Andrew Street in London, or at one of the Manchester or Salford addresses. Matching the postcode and provider name to the confirmation is a way to reduce confusion when several supported centres appear in the same city.
Treat the 128- and 129-minute figures as estimates from Hinckley's location centre. Allow extra time for traffic, road closures and your actual starting point, and avoid booking travel that depends on an exact arrival minute. Recheck the route page before departure.
Keep destination and jurisdiction checks separate from travel planning. A shorter listed estimate does not make a route suitable for every application. Choose the country first, follow the relevant official guidance, and use the Cancellation Finder for the supported city and provider combination you need.
