Ashford is a ward in the borough of Spelthorne in Surrey, England, situated just west of Staines-upon-Thames and a short distance from the River Thames and Heathrow Airport. It benefits from good rail and road connections with direct services into London and easy access to the M25, so it functions largely as a commuter suburb.
The area is mainly residential, mixing older Victorian terraces and inter-war housing with more recent developments, and has a modest town centre of shops, pubs and community facilities. Local green spaces and riverside walks are popular, its character reflects agricultural origins that expanded with the arrival of the railway, and the local economy is shaped by commuters, small businesses and active community groups.
