Reading applicants have four supported London centres in this guide. By the supplied estimated driving distance, the TLScontact London Visa Application Centre is closest at 40 miles from Reading's centre, at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. The listed routes cover France with TLScontact, Italy with VFS Global, Spain with BLS International, and Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark with VFS Global. Availability changes, so confirm the current provider instructions and appointment details.
The four centres shown for Reading are in London. By the supplied estimated driving distance, the closest listed centre is TLScontact's France location in Wandsworth. BLS Spain is at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG, while VFS Global's Italy centre is at 8-20 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW. The separate VFS Global London centre is at 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT and is linked here to the VFS destinations listed below. Check the confirmation for the correct destination.
Reading's route list contains eight destinations. France uses TLScontact; Italy uses VFS Global; Spain uses BLS International; and Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark use VFS Global. The route records provide official booking links, but they do not establish that an appointment is available at a preferred time. Review the destination page and confirmation before committing to the journey from Reading on the selected date and time.
From the centre of Reading, the TLScontact London estimate is 40 miles and 63 minutes. BLS Spain and the VFS Global Italy centre are each listed at 42.3 miles and 71 minutes, while the VFS Global London centre is 43.7 miles and 76 minutes. These are estimated driving figures from Reading's centre, not guaranteed arrival times, and actual traffic or road closures may change the trip.
The small distance difference between the London locations does not remove the need to check the address for your destination. In particular, the VFS guidance says addresses can vary by destination, and each centre has its own official page or appointment guidance. Allow for the journey shown in your confirmation, then review traffic conditions and the provider's latest instructions before departure. Keep the appointment time central.
Before leaving Reading, match your destination with the correct provider and address. France is listed at TLScontact, Spain at BLS International, Italy at VFS Global's Italy centre, while the other listed destinations use the separate VFS Global London centre.
Bring the appointment confirmation and the documents required for your visa category. The supplied centre guidance specifically refers to confirmation, documents or both, depending on the provider, so check the official destination page rather than relying on an older instruction.
The London estimates range from 63 to 76 minutes from Reading's centre. Treat them as planning references only, because traffic, road closures and your starting point can alter the journey. Match the travel plan to the confirmed appointment and destination address.
