Applicants in Shrewsbury and Shropshire have supported appointment options in Manchester, with one further TLScontact location listed in London. This guide sets out the provider, destination and address for each centre, alongside the supplied driving estimates. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications when a relevant cancellation is found, but it does not book on your behalf. Availability changes, so confirm the current provider page, appointment requirements and exact address before travelling from your Shrewsbury starting point.
The nearest supported centre listed for Shrewsbury is the TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. Its supplied journey estimate is 105 minutes by car from the centre of Shrewsbury. The guidance places the centre close to Piccadilly Gardens and asks applicants to check the France provider page for appointment-specific arrival instructions. Use the France route only when your provider confirmation points to this centre rather than selecting a different Manchester address for this appointment.
Three other supported centres are listed. VFS Global Manchester is at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH, with a 105-minute estimate for its Italy, Netherlands and Portugal links. BLS Spain Visa Application Centre is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF, estimated at 102 minutes. TLScontact London is at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN, with a supplied estimate of 203 minutes for France. The BLS guidance says to check current submission time and courier requirements before travelling.
The supplied driving estimates from central Shrewsbury are 105 minutes to TLScontact Manchester, 105 to VFS Global Manchester, 102 to BLS Spain in Salford and 203 to TLScontact London. These figures are calculated from the centre of the named location using OpenStreetMap OSRM. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey, so treat every figure as a guide. The shorter time estimate does not change which centre is nearest in the supplied listing.
Choose the destination before choosing the city. France is shown at the TLScontact Manchester centre, while Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal are linked to VFS Global Manchester, and Spain to BLS in Salford. The London TLScontact centre is another France listing, not a general substitute for Manchester. Check the official provider page and appointment confirmation for the exact address and current submission instructions. The supplied list is selective and does not claim to show every centre for your destination.
For a France appointment linked to TLScontact Manchester, use 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. The centre is described as close to Piccadilly Gardens, but check the France provider page and your confirmation for appointment-specific arrival instructions.
The Manchester Spain centre is in Salford at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, M3 5PF. Before travelling, check the current submission time and any courier requirements stated by BLS International, then bring the documents and confirmation required for your category.
Central Shrewsbury estimates range from 102 to 203 minutes by car across the listed centres. Use them for planning only, allowing for live traffic, road closures and the difference between the named-location calculation and your actual starting point.
France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain do not all use the same Manchester address. Match the destination, provider and city in your confirmation, then recheck the official page because availability changes and the listed guidance may include destination-specific instructions.
