Is your application at the VO now, for the Applicant processing? Have you received notification that you've been approved as Sponsor and the file was transferred to a particular Visa Office for processing?

The answer to your question depends on where the file actually is right now.

They have forwarded my application to the visa office in London today for further processing. Now where do I send those required photos?

I'm searching. Canada House is in Trafalgar Square in London, but I haven't confirmed if you send to that location or elsewhere.

Can you provide the exact wording they use in the letter when they request the photos?

Okay, so the answer is they want you to send the photos to Mississauga.
The Mississauga office sent you this correspondence and they instruct you to send to 'this office'.

The address is exactly as you said:

CPC Mississauga
P.O. Box 3000, Station A
Mississauga, ON
L5A 4N6

BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR FILE NUMBER, SPONSOR AND APPLICANT NAMES

Also, if you choose to send it by courier to deliver to the office instead of by post
the courier delivery is to this address: (but you cannot use this address for mail, only for courier delivery)

Courier address (no public drop-offs)

CPC Mississauga
2 Robert Speck Parkway,
Suite 300
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8

Good Luck.

It names the office which is writing to you and says 'this office'.
