The London listing is separate from the Manchester Spain route, so check the city shown in any appointment details. The supplied route records also show a 30-day Cancellation Finder duration and a GBP 24.99 base price for each listed destination and city combination. Confirm current pricing and provider instructions before relying on these records.
The listed journey estimates are calculated from the centre of Walsall. The Manchester TLScontact and VFS Global centres are each shown at 96 minutes, while BLS Spain in Manchester is shown at 97 minutes. The BLS Spain London centre is shown at 159 minutes. These are driving estimates, not fixed travel times: live traffic, road closures and your own starting point can change the journey, so allow sensible time around the appointment and plan for the arrival process on the day.
Before travelling, use the centre-specific guidance rather than relying on a general plan. TLScontact says its Manchester centre is close to Piccadilly Gardens and directs applicants to France provider arrival instructions. VFS Global asks applicants to check the destination-specific page and appointment confirmation. BLS Spain Manchester highlights current submission time and courier requirements, while the London listing stresses the documents and confirmation required for the visa category.

France is listed in Manchester through TLScontact; Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global; Spain through BLS International in Manchester or London. Keep the confirmation available when checking the official instructions.
Read the provider page before travelling. The France listing points to appointment-specific arrival instructions, VFS Global directs applicants to the destination page and confirmation, and BLS Spain Manchester asks applicants to check submission time and courier requirements. Keep the destination and centre details together.
Use the estimates as planning figures: 96 minutes for TLScontact and VFS Global in Manchester, 97 for BLS Spain Manchester, and 159 for BLS Spain London. Allow time for traffic, road closures and your starting point, which can change the journey.
Take the documents required for your visa category and keep your appointment confirmation accessible. For BLS Spain London, the centre guidance specifically refers to both. For BLS Spain Manchester, check courier requirements as well as the current submission time before leaving Walsall.
