Staines: Thames Crossing, Spelthorne Borough, and Surrey's Western Edge
Staines sits at the point where the old London road crosses the Thames at the western edge of Greater London. The London Stone, marking the upstream limit of the City of London's jurisdiction over the Thames, stands on the riverbank. The town was officially renamed Staines-upon-Thames in 2012, though most people still call it Staines. The Two Rivers shopping centre opened in 2002 on the former Lagonda car factory site. The population of the Spelthorne borough is around 99,000, with Staines as the main commercial centre. Heathrow Airport lies two miles to the north.
Staines station provides South Western Railway services to London Waterloo. The M25 junction 13 is immediately south. The proximity to Heathrow makes the area a base for aviation and logistics businesses. For adult companionship, Staines is covered by Surrey Police and governed by England and Wales criminal law.
