Stanwell Moor is a village in the Borough of Spelthorne, approximately 27 km west of central London.
Historically part of the county of Middlesex, Stanwell Moor was transferred to Surrey in 1965. It lies immediately east of the M25 London Orbital Motorway and south-west of Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.
The River Colne runs to the west of Stanwell Moor and the village is in Colne Valley regional park.
The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.
The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.
The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades. |
