nt for you.
= Let's meet at a time when //
= When's a good time for you?
= Let's meet when it's good time for you.
= Let's meet at your convenience.
Which prepositions should I need to use when giving an exact time and location?
For example, I want to say the meeting time is 11:32 and the location is Blah, and both are exact locations and time, so normally I would use at for these,
Let's meet at 11:32 at Blah
But it doesn't sound much correct & natural.
Is using double at in a single sentence correct? What is a better way of saying this?

'Let's meet at [time] at [place]' sounds perfectly natural to a native speaker.

@KateBunting really? I'm not a native speaker but it didn't sound like something that a native speaker would say. hmm. Thanks for the comment

I would prefer [place] before [time], I think, but at is the only preposition you can have. "Let's meet at the station at 11:32"

@AndrewLeach: There would be many contexts where one of either "time" or "place" would be "more significant" - in which case most people would probably identify the more important (or "less predictable", or whatever) element first. I'll see you tonight at the club (not tomorrow, or next week), or I'll see you at the club tonight (not the pub or your house). But obviously in the spoken version it's trivial to stress either factor in either position if that's relevant (which it usually won't be).

You're right to suspect dissonance here. It may look suspiciously unnatural, but when spoken, detail which the bald statement can't reproduce will be included. In the unmarked (equal priority to location & time) version, as Andrew says, the locative will usually be put before the temporal; there will usually be not even a slight pause, and the second 'at' will probably be reduced to /ət/ (the first might be too, but I'd say will still be more distinguishable). When, as FF suggests, one of the adverbials is stressed, it comes first, and the 'at' has the strong pronunciation (/æt/).
