Oxford's nearest listed centre by driving distance is the BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, London, at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. The estimate from Oxford is 60.3 miles and 94 minutes. TLScontact London, at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN, is listed at 61.2 miles and 89 minutes for France and Germany. That makes TLScontact the shorter time estimate even though BLS is closer by distance. France and Germany applicants are told to confirm the current centre and category on the route page.
The remaining London options are the VFS Global London Visa Application Centre at 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT, estimated at 61.5 miles and 98 minutes, and the VFS Global Italy centre at 8-20 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW, estimated at 63.4 miles and 97 minutes. The route data links the first with Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark, while the second is linked to Italy. VFS guidance warns that addresses can vary by destination, so use the centre attached to the selected route rather than assuming one London address serves every application.
From Oxford, every supplied destination route leads to a London centre, but the listed estimates vary by address. BLS Spain is 60.3 miles and 94 minutes, TLScontact is 61.2 miles and 89 minutes, the VFS Global London centre is 61.5 miles and 98 minutes, and VFS Italy is 63.4 miles and 97 minutes. These figures are driving estimates calculated from the centre of Oxford. They can change with live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point, so allow practical margin and recheck the appointment details before travelling.
Several London addresses are represented, so a journey plan should start with the provider and destination, not simply the word London. France and Germany use the TLScontact route in the supplied data; Italy uses the VFS Italy centre; Spain uses BLS; and Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark use the listed VFS Global route. The BLS, TLScontact and VFS pages each carry their own guidance. No parking, public transport or opening-time information is included here, so confirm any such practical detail with the relevant provider.
Oxford's listed London distances range from 60.3 to 63.4 miles, but the addresses are different. Before leaving, write down the destination, provider, centre name and full address from the confirmation. This matters for VFS Global, which has a London centre at Wilson Street and a separate Italy centre at Pocock Street.
France and Germany applicants should use the TLScontact route page to confirm the current centre and category before travelling. For other destinations, follow the relevant VFS Global or BLS International guidance. Keep the appointment confirmation and category-required documents together, and do not substitute a different London address simply because it appears closer.
Do not plan around distance alone: TLScontact has the shortest listed time estimate at 89 minutes, while BLS Spain is shortest by distance at 60.3 miles. Live traffic, road closures and the starting point can change both the practical journey and the margin you need.
