Poyle is a village and suburb in the unitary authority of Slough, in South East England. It is situated immediately west of the M25 motorway and 16.8 miles (27 km) west of Charing Cross in London.

History

The village lies within the historic boundaries of Middlesex and from 1930 formed part of the Staines Urban District which was transferred to Surrey in 1965. From 1974 it formed part of the borough of Spelthorne. In 1995 it became, along with Colnbrook in Buckinghamshire, part of the Colnbrook with Poyle parish of the borough of Slough in Berkshire.

Transport

Local bus services are operated by London United and First Group. Poyle was once served by two stations on the Staines & West Drayton Railway having the two stations Poyle Halt and Poyle Estate Halt. Poyle Halt (for Stanwell Moor) was opened in 1927, with Poyle Estate opening in 1954. Passenger services were withdrawn on March 29, 1965.Fact|date=October 2007 All traffic was withdrawn in 1981.

Heathrow Airport

Poyle is the location of a major Federal Express (FedEx) sorting office where parcels and letters are processed before being air dispatched to overseas destinations (via nearby Heathrow airport). Due to its proximity to Heathrow airport Poyle lies under the flight path of many departing/arriving routes. Poyle Residents Association have long campaigned for restrictions on night flights from Heathrow airport. Along with other local village/town residents' groups they have been involved in second stage consultation talks (during 2005) with the DTI about this problem.
