The first centre will open in Manchester on 9 November 2018, followed by new centres in Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast and Croydon. There will also be 50 enhanced service centres nationally, which will be available to customers for a charge, and a premium lounge located in London.
UKVI guidance on the new services can be found here.
