About

Spelthorne Museum deserves a strong indoor ranking because it is one of the few clearly defined cultural venues in central Staines. The museum's own page highlights local archaeological finds, Roman Staines material and changing exhibitions, which give it more substance than a token display room.\n\nIt also works well as a short rainy-day stop or as part of a library-centre visit.
