Poyle is a small residential and industrial area on the eastern edge of Slough in the county of Berkshire, sitting close to the border with Surrey. It lies alongside the village of Colnbrook and the River Colne, and is immediately adjacent to major transport links such as the M25 and M4, with Heathrow Airport a short distance away.
Locally the character is a mix of housing estates and light industrial estates, with many businesses geared to logistics, warehousing and airport services, so the airport and motorway economy shape daily life and employment. Historically it grew in the 20th century as road and air travel expanded, and today the area feels practical and working‑class, with small local shops and a commuter population drawn to nearby Slough and London.
