Stanwell Moor in the borough of Spelthorne, Surrey, England is a small, semi‑rural settlement set on the low-lying floodplain of the River Colne, close to the Staines Reservoirs. The moor gives the area a green‑belt, village feel despite being within easy reach of Heathrow and the motorway network, so many residents commute into London or work at airport‑related businesses.
The community has a quiet, largely residential character and historically has been linked with neighbouring Stanwell; the whole area was affected by county boundary changes that moved parts of historic Middlesex into Surrey in the 1960s. Local wetland and meadow habitats on the floodplain are valued for wildlife, while nearby towns such as Staines-upon-Thames provide shops and services.
