Staines is a town inside the M25 circular motorway. Originally, Staines was in the county of Middlesex.

The town was involved mainly with the linoleum industry, which started when the first factory opened in 1862. Today, the town acts as a commuter town for London, and also for nearby Heathrow Airport. The town supports these needs, and acts as a service town for its inhabitants. Thus the town has a shopping centre, opened in 1996, and a leisure centre.
