Spelthorne is located 15 miles west of Central London. It is bordered by the M25 to the west, the River Thames to the south and west, the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames to the east, and Heathrow Airport to the north. The Borough is at the inner edge of the Metropolitan Green Belt, with 35% of the Borough being urban and the remainder being protected as Green Belt. The principal towns are Staines-upon-Thames, Sunbury, Ashford, Shepperton and Stanwell.
The area enjoys good connections to London and the South East, via the M25, M3 and M4 motorway network and also by the excellent rail links (approximately 30 minutes to London Waterloo), and of course Heathrow Airport is on the Borough's doorstep.
