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

The domesday book provides documentary eveidence of the local area, however Staines only started to expand later, when the railway arrived in 1848 from Waterloo. 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. As well as acting as a commuter town, Staines also plays host to some large companies, including BUPA and LogicaCMG.
