Which passport office to use

I'm applying for both mine and my son's passports, online it says to pick one of the given passport offices and send all documentation together so I can either send to Hemel Hempstead or Corby. Anyone know if one is better than the other?

Have a look at https://www.passportwaitingtime.co.uk. I can’t see HH in the reviews but Corby has good ones.

I believe all the data comes from actual passport applicants, not just government targets.

When we did it a couple months ago, we weren’t given a choice. It went to Hemel Hempstead and it took maybe 5 business days.

We weren't given a choice last month doing ours & they went to both places. They were all returned, and documents returned, in less than 2 weels, from both locations.
