Latest Staines hotel reviews
planxty Says: Staines entire raison d'etre is that it was an ancient crossing place of the River Thames. Readers of my other pages will know that I have a great love of walking and waterways, and the Thames is a great favourite of mine, so it is no surprise that on a recent lovely spring...
planxty Says: Isn't it strange how you can think you know a place and not really know it at all? I visit Staines pretty regularly, and I must have walked past what I believed was the Town Hall literally dozens of times. Not an unreasonable assumption I thought given that, as the photo...
planxty Says: If you have a wander along the pedestrianised walkway in the centre of town, you can't miss this statue. It is, I think, quite strange, although very nicely done. As you can see from the photo, it is a statue of two working men carrying a huge roll of lino. For the benefit...

MacDonald Savill Court Hotel & Spa, Egham nr Winds: Beautiful Mansion in Staines
Tuuli_nen Says: I just stayed one night in a business trip but I really enjoyed myself -despite the fire alarm at 3am (but the staff handled it just beautifully). It was so nice after a long day of travelling and meetings to have a beautiful room with a view to a field with ponies and a...
Ko Gu Ryo restaurant.: Wonderful Korean food.
planxty Says: Staines, as I mentioned in my intro page, is a fairly nondescript dormitory town outside London, but I have to say it is extremely well served for quality eating establishments (see my other tips), there really is an embarrassment of riches. I recently discovered yet another...
Swan Hotel, Staines.: Nice meal in pleasant surroundings.
planxty Says: Update March 2011.I like to keep my tips up to date when I can and have to report that I ate here recently and had an excellent experience. On an early weeknight, there were not too many patrons and my companion and I chose to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant which...
Roshni's restaurant.: Very fine Indian food.
planxty Says: As I have mentioned in other restaurant tips on Staines, the town really does bristle with excellent establishments, so I suppose it is no surprise that it should have a very good Indian restaurant as well, and Roshni's certainly is that. It is slightly hidden down some...
The Bells.: A wonderful pub restaurant.
planxty Says: This place is indicative of the revolution that has taken place in British eating habits in about the last 20 years. whereas once your choice of food in a pub was peanuts or perhaps a pickled egg, now there are pubs serving food that is certainly of restuarant quality at a...
The George.: Great cheap breakfast.
planxty Says: As I have said in other tips, there is a great divergence of opinion in the UK amongst drinkers concerning the J.D.Wetherspoon chain.Some say they are destroying the traditional local pub, others hail them as a cheap option for food and drink in what are generally pleasant...
Ancient Raj: Curry House - Ancient Raj
timtregenza Says: Typical English curry house - not the best but adequate.
The George: The George - Wetherspoons pub
timtregenza Says: This pub has a good range of beers and does pub food. It is one of the more reasonably priced hostelries.
The Jolly Butchers: Questionable local pub - the Jolly Butchers
timtregenza Says: There are many good pubs in the UK, some of them do good food, others good beer. The Butchers is a typical, average local pub in that it has none of the above.It has one redeeming point - it is next door to a good curry take away, so order your vindaloo and have a beer in...
Not pushchair friendly - Staines Railway Station
timtregenza Says: Staines Railway station is on the Waterloo - Reading line. Trains into the City are quite frequent.However, the Station is remarkably unfriendly, probably a product of its age.There are steps up into the station (no ramp), and to cross platforms you have to use a steeply...

More to it than you might think.
Staines lies essentially Southwest of London, about 40 minutes by train from London Waterloo, and is now effectively a dormitory comuter town. It does, however, have a more interesting history than......

OK, Staines has not got the greatest reputation in the South East, but this is a bit unfair. It does not compare favourably with say, Richmond, but it has all the facilities of a small town, and a...
