Borough of Slough

Geography

The borough borders the counties of Buckinghamshire (the unitary authority of the same name), Greater London (Hillingdon) and Surrey (Spelthorne), as well as the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (also in Berkshire). Notable settlements nearby including London, Reading and High Wycombe. The nearest airport is Heathrow Airport, which is located roughly 7 miles (11 km) to the south-east. The borough has good links to London and other towns and cities with its main connecting road being the M4 motorway. It is also served by six railway stations: Taplow, Burnham, Slough, Langley, Iver and West Drayton. The district contains the unparished area of Slough and the civil parish of Colnbrook with Poyle. The parishes of Britwell and Wexham Court were scheduled for abolition in April 2019, but after an appeal by the parish councils and a judicial review the order was quashed and the parishes remain unchanged.
