Tamworth applicants have five listed Cancellation Finder routes through Manchester for France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, plus a further Spain route to London. The supplied centres sit at separate addresses and have different estimated driving times from Tamworth. This guide helps you compare those supported options, check route-specific instructions and prepare for the appointment day. Journey estimates can change with traffic, road closures and your starting point. Confirm the official provider details before travelling.
The nearest supported centre listed for Tamworth is TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre, 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. The catalogue gives a 107-minute driving estimate from the centre of Tamworth and links this location to the France route. Supplied guidance says the centre is close to Piccadilly Gardens, but appointment-specific arrival instructions still need checking on the France provider page and in your confirmation before travel. Because provider details can change before your journey from Tamworth.
Other listed Manchester options are the VFS Global centre at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH, linked to Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, and the BLS Spain centre at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF. Their supplied estimates are 106 and 108 minutes respectively. London Spain is also listed at 20 St Andrew Street, EC4A 3AG, with a 152-minute estimate. Use the destination-specific booking link for the route you select before making plans.
From Tamworth, the supplied driving estimates to the Manchester centres are 107 minutes for TLScontact, 106 minutes for VFS Global and 108 minutes for BLS Spain. The London Spain listing is 152 minutes. These figures are calculated from Tamworth's centre and can change with live traffic, road closures or your actual starting point, so use them as planning estimates rather than fixed journey times. Check your appointment confirmation for the exact destination address before leaving.
Because the Manchester centres are at different addresses, match the postcode to the provider and destination. TLScontact is at M1 3BE, VFS Global at M12 6JH, and BLS Spain in Salford at M3 5PF. The London Spain centre is at EC4A 3AG. The supplied official links are destination-specific, so keep the relevant confirmation open when checking the final address and arrival instructions. Recheck them before setting out from Tamworth, using the route you selected for the appointment.
Compare the destination before comparing the distance. Tamworth's Manchester list connects France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain to different provider centres, while the London entry is also Spain. The right address follows the selected route, not simply the city name.
For France, TLScontact's supplied guidance places the centre close to Piccadilly Gardens and asks applicants to check appointment-specific arrival instructions. Read the current France route page, retain the confirmation, and allow your plan to accommodate the journey estimate changing.
If using the Manchester Spain route, check the current submission time and courier requirements before departure. BLS lists a separate Salford address from the other Manchester centres, so copy the postcode from your confirmation and compare it with the official centre page.
Prepare the documents for the destination and visa category you selected. The route entries point to different providers, and their centre guidance is not interchangeable. Keep the appointment confirmation, documents and exact address together so the appointment-day checks are based on one current route.
