Staines is the central ward of the market town in Spelthorne, Surrey, England, sitting on the southern bank of the River Thames. The ward takes in the busy high street and riverside open spaces around the historic Staines Bridge, with good rail and road connections - Staines railway station, the nearby M25 and Heathrow making it a convenient commuter hub for London and the airport.
Historically a market town, the area combines traditional shops and recent retail and riverside regeneration with pockets of offices and light industry, giving a mixed economic character. Socially it’s diverse, with long‑standing local communities alongside commuters and newer residents, and local green spaces and events along the river help give the ward a distinct riverside character within the Spelthorne borough.
