The London/Buckinghamshire boundary - Ashford

TQ 08 72
The London/Hounslow/Spelthorne boundary runs due west to cut across the northern end of Newhaven Close. At Beaumont Drive it turns north until it reaches Feltham Road and on the corner of Challenge Road turns west to skirt the northern ends of Anderson, Dykes, Fernhurst and Chattern Roads. It then turns north again.

Area of 19th and early 20th century housing with lots of open space and sports clubs.  This is a depressing area full of prisons
