The Wraysbury

A significant Roman town with an ancient history, Staines upon Thames is an affluent, desirable, modern town and commuter hub sitting alongside a beautiful and tranquil stretch of the River Thames approximately 22 miles to the South-West of Central London.

With a population of approximately 18,500. It is a significant commercial centre with many major employers, a thriving town centre and numerous sporting, leisure and cultural amenities.

The town is inside the M25 London orbital motorway at the end of the M4 corridor and benefits from close proximity to Heathrow Airport with superb road, rail and air connections. Train journey times to Central London are as little as 33 minutes.

Staines has seen substantial large scale investment and is home to many multinational companies such as BP, British Gas, Samsung and Dnata. On top of a booming local economy, Staines is surrounded by some of the most expensive real estate in the UK outside of London with prestigious towns such as Virginia Water, Windsor and Weybridge forming London’s prime commuter belt. The area has an undersupply of new homes and given its location it can be argued that Staines is undervalued and has potential for capital growth.

Staines is an open, green and leafy town as befits its picturesque riverside setting. There are almost 4 miles of river frontage with numerous pubs, restaurants and rowing clubs overlooking the Thames. Local education is of a high standard including one of the worlds leading universities and there is a strong retail offering centred around the pedestrianised High Street.

The combination of affordability, proximity to Heathrow Airport, a fast and direct train link into Central London, bustling High Street and River Thames frontage will ensure Staines is a popular location for both investors and owner occupiers.
