Manchester is the practical focus for the supported options closest to Scunthorpe. The TLScontact centre is at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, near Piccadilly Gardens, and is linked to the France route. The VFS Global centre is at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH, with listed routes for Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. The BLS International centre is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF, for Spain. Each address should be matched to the destination shown in your confirmation.
The London option is the VFS Global London Visa Application Centre at 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT. The supplied route list includes Austria, Croatia and Cyprus for this centre. VFS addresses can vary by destination, so use the relevant official page and your appointment confirmation before setting out. Centre-card figures are estimated driving distances and times from central Scunthorpe, not fixed promises for your actual journey. Allow for traffic, road closures and your starting point.
From Scunthorpe, the supplied estimate to the nearest TLScontact Manchester centre is 110 minutes by car, calculated from the centre of the town. The VFS Manchester estimate is 111 minutes, while the BLS Manchester estimate is 109 minutes, although the BLS site is not the nearest by the supplied distance measure. These figures are useful for planning, but live traffic, road closures and your starting point can change the actual journey on appointment day.
Build the journey around the exact centre and route rather than assuming Manchester applications use one address. France uses Portland Street in Manchester, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal use Devonshire Street North, and Spain uses Chapel Street in Salford. If London is your chosen route, confirm the Wilson Street address and destination link. Recheck current provider instructions before travelling, as the supplied centre guidance directs applicants to appointment-specific details for your booking and arrival arrangements in advance.
For France, use the TLScontact Manchester details. Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal are listed with VFS Global Manchester, while Spain uses BLS in Salford. If selecting London, confirm that your destination is one of the listed routes before relying on the address.
Read the official provider page and your confirmation before leaving Scunthorpe. TLScontact asks applicants to check France-specific arrival instructions, VFS directs applicants to destination-specific guidance, and BLS advises checking current submission time and courier requirements.
The 110-minute Manchester estimate is calculated from central Scunthorpe. Treat it as a planning reference, not a fixed arrival time. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can alter the journey, so allow sensible time before the appointment and confirm the route.
Prepare the documents required for your visa category and keep the appointment confirmation ready. For Spain in Manchester, check the current submission time and courier requirements. Follow the instructions for your own provider, since TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS International have different centre details.
