A pub by the river in Staines, Middlesex

Staines-upon-Thames Staines-upon-Thames is a suburban town on the River Thames in western Middlesex, its western edge falling on the Colne Brook Old Course, which forms the county's border with Buckinghamshire. Built around an older town centre, Staines is today largely suburban development. It is close to the M25 motorway. The town's ancient name is Staines. The suffix -upon-Thames, though borne by other towns on that river, was adopted only in 2012, as a way to improve the aesthetics of the town's name. (Read more)
