The nearest listed centre is BLS Spain at 20 St Andrew Street, while the VFS and TLScontact addresses are elsewhere in London.

Availability changes, so verify current instructions.
The nearest centre in the supplied list is BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, London, at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. The journey estimate from the centre of Welwyn Garden City is 54 minutes of driving. This centre is linked to the London Spain route, and its guidance says to attend only with the documents and appointment confirmation required for your visa category. Check that guidance alongside your confirmation, rather than assuming a general London checklist applies.
VFS Global London Visa Application Centre at 66 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2BT is linked in the supplied route list with Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia and Finland. Italy has its own VFS centre at 8-20 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW, while France uses TLScontact at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. VFS notes that addresses can vary by destination, so confirm the exact one on your appointment confirmation and official booking page before travelling.
The supplied driving estimates from central Welwyn Garden City are 54 minutes to BLS Spain, 55 minutes to the Wilson Street VFS centre, 57 minutes to the Pocock Street Italy centre and 61 minutes to TLScontact in Wandsworth. These figures are estimates, not fixed journey times. Your starting point, live traffic and road closures can alter the trip, so build in contingency and use the postcode on your confirmation when planning the final approach carefully.
Treat the London centres as separate appointment locations even where the application city is the same. Spain uses BLS International at St Andrew Street; the listed VFS destinations use either Wilson Street or, for Italy, Pocock Street; France uses TLScontact in Wandsworth. Before travelling, compare the provider and postcode on your confirmation with the relevant official page. Do not transfer arrival details between destinations. This check matters even when the application city is shown as London.
Write down the destination and provider before opening the booking page. The supplied London options use BLS International for Spain, VFS Global for several destinations, VFS Global Italy at a separate address, and TLScontact for France. Check guidance if your circumstances create a jurisdiction question.
Keep EC4A 3AG, EC2A 2BT, SE1 0BW or SW18 1UN beside the relevant confirmation, not in a generic note. Each postcode identifies a different listed London centre, so checking it against the provider and destination is a simple final safeguard.
The journey estimates start at the centre of Welwyn Garden City and can change with traffic, closures or your actual departure point. Plan a margin around the appointment time, then recheck the official centre page and confirmation before setting out.
Use the documents specified for your visa category and keep the appointment confirmation accessible. The BLS Spain guidance makes both points explicit, while VFS and TLScontact instructions are destination-specific. Check the relevant page rather than borrowing a checklist from another route.
