About

Spelthorne sits on the north-west edge of Surrey, north of the county along the River Thames. The district covers Staines-upon-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames, Ashford, Shepperton, Stanwell and Laleham. It has a mix of built-up town centres, industrial zones, suburban neighbourhoods and open river corridors. The borough council is based in Staines-upon-Thames and local government oversees planning across the district's urban, suburban and riverside areas. Transport links include main road connections and rail services into central London from Staines and Shepperton stations.

Riverside features are important: towpaths, moorland strips and parks follow the Thames and its tributaries, giving a pattern of floodplain and reclaimed land that shapes local roads and fields. The area hosts Shepperton Studios, with long-standing film and television production facilities, and Kempton Park Racecourse close to Sunbury. Shepperton Lock and a chain of smaller weirs and sluices help manage navigation and water levels on the Thames within the district. Local commons such as Staines Moor and riverside meadowland support waterlogged grassland and reed beds used by birdlife and anglers, and several conservation and flood-management schemes have influenced development along the river corridor.
