Stanwell Moor is a small village located in the county of Middlesex, England. It is situated approximately 15 miles west of central London and lies between the towns of Staines-upon-Thames and Heathrow Airport. The village is part of the larger Stanwell civil parish.

The history of Stanwell Moor dates back to the early 19th century when it was primarily an agricultural area. However, with the expansion of Heathrow Airport in the mid-20th century, the village underwent significant changes. Many farms were demolished to make way for the airport's infrastructure, and a large number of houses were built to accommodate the growing workforce.

Today, Stanwell Moor is a quiet residential area with a population of around 1,500 people. The village is surrounded by open green spaces, including fields and woodland, providing a peaceful atmosphere for its residents. Despite its proximity to Heathrow Airport, the village is shielded from the noise and traffic associated with the airport, making it an attractive place to live.

Stanwell Moor benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to the M25 motorway and a nearby railway station at Staines-upon-Thames. The village is served by a few local amenities, including a primary school, a community center, and a small convenience store. However, residents often rely on the nearby towns for more extensive shopping and recreational facilities.

Overall, Stanwell Moor offers a suburban lifestyle with a rural feel, making it an appealing place for those seeking a peaceful and well-connected community within close proximity to London and Heathrow Airport.
