Can't rate this office more than 2 stars for this visit. We made an online appointment for the annual report (due by the first two months of each year) for a confirmed transaction @ 12noon. We reached early by 9am, as it's so difficult to find a parking if not impossible. The parking ticket/fees shows 30p but, either you pay 70p + 30p tips to the barker or, you'd have to move ur car right away. Anyhow, we had no other option but to accept it .
The security guards were so helpful, who gave us the health declaration form to complete & reminded us about the face mask+shield and then, they asked us to follow a very loooooooooooooong que. We didn't believe that all of them came too early like us but, when we inquired about their appointment time, some of them were for 10am or 11am, so imagine almost 200 - 250 were ahead of us and, we're all waiting under the sun .
When we entered to the designated area for the annual report, it took us exactly 30min. The immigrations personnel by the counters were friendly and fast. We paid the 310p fees each and, were directed to the exit, so they can accommodate the others.

My recommendations:
- Make sure you have an online appointment for the afternoon slots and, try to come early if possible. Anyhow a long que will be waiting for u. No need to print the appointment confirmation, if u have it saved on ur mobile.
- Don't forget ur face mask & face shield + ur umbrella + small chair to rest.
- Bring a small bottle of water to keep hydrated. And some snacks as well will be good.

BTW, there is a small burger shop left side of the main entrance, they serve a very good burger . Try their double patties' burger and, I'm sure u will not regret it. Promise.!
