Spain has three consulates general in the United Kingdom, in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, and a network of honorary offices in Aberdeen, Belfast, Cardiff, Leeds, Newcastle and Jersey. The Embassy in London does not issue passports or visas.
The map is drawn by nation and, in England, by ceremonial county: Bristol goes to London, Leeds to Manchester and Newcastle to Edinburgh. Scotland and Northern Ireland are Edinburgh's; Wales and the Isle of Man, Manchester's.
The official pages disagree on Middlesbrough and Redcar, and this site says so.
Most searches are about Spain visas, and the first fact is the one most sites skip: a British citizen needs no visa for 90 days in any 180. The Schengen visa is for other nationalities, and the residence visas (non-lucrative, digital nomad) are lodged at the BLS centres, not at the consulates.
Three honorary consulates on Manchester's list, Birmingham, Liverpool and Nottingham, are vacant: there is nobody to see there, and their pages say where to go instead.
A Spanish passport costs £26.35 and needs you on the consular register first. How each office takes bookings is under appointments, and appointments are free.
Faded markers are the Embassy and the honorary consulate in Aberdeen; honorary offices with no public address have no marker.

The honorary consulates

- London also supervises honorary consuls in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, outside the UK.
And the Embassy?
The Embassy in London, on Chesham Place in Belgravia, represents Spain before the British Government. It is not a consular counter: passports, NIE numbers and visas are handled by the consulates general and the BLS centres.
Many people looking for «the Spanish embassy in London» actually need the Consulate General on Draycott Place.
