Staines

Staines is a Thames-side town in the Spelthorne borough of Surrey . It is a suburban development within the western bounds of the M25 motorway and located 17 miles west south-west of Charing Cross in London.
Staines has a fairly compact town centre mainly focused on a wide pedestrianised High Street. It Houses lots of familiar names such as Waterstones, Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, T.K. Maxx, Sony, and Monsoon. Smaller independent units can be found in Church Street including Iris Bloomfield Florists and Refresh Juice Cafe. A market in the pedestrianised High Street is held every Wednesday and Saturday. It is one of the largest and busiest street markets in Surrey. A moderately-sized shopping centre (Elmsleigh) is directly behind the High Street. A retail park was opened in 2002 called Two Rivers which is bisected by the confluence of the rivers Wraysbury and Colne.
Nearby is one of England’s premier theme parks; Thorpe Park, which includes several record-breaking rollercoasters.
