A Bedfordshire Getaway
Between 2 of England’s principal motorways, the M1 and A1(M), Luton is best known as an arrival point for cheap flights to London. A low cost carrier hub, Luton Airport is home to the unmistakable orange headquarters of Easyjet.
Booking.com offers hotels on the airport grounds, as well as accommodations including guesthouses in the town nearby, many of which offer free parking. But that isn't the only reason to visit.
Luton once had an important role in hat-making, an industry which has given its name to the Hat Factory performing arts venue. The town’s huge carnival is based in leafy Wardown Park, home of Luton Museum and Art Gallery.
Local crafts from yesteryear are displayed in the discovery center at Stockwood Park. Also here is one of the golf courses surrounding the town, and just east is a spa and swimming pool at the Luton Hoo country house hotel. Another golf course borders the Dunstable Downs to the west, and a third is by Whipsnade Zoo, the largest in the UK.
Luton shopping options include The Mall (previously the Arndale Centre), and the nearby station offers direct trains to London St. Pancras. Available restaurants cover everything from Indian to Caribbean and Malaysian.

It's not a city to visit, we just stayed there because it is quite close to London, Oxford and Cambridge, and we had our flight back from Luton airport. There is not much to do, though, and it doesn't feel really safe nor pleasant, we won't be coming back.

Luton is a great sleepover point with plenty branded hotels to choose from. Central London is 25 minutes easy reach from one of the three train stations, in the north, Centre, and south of the town. The wonderful countryside that surrounds the town is typically England. The town itself is an industrial town, with pleasant suburbs and a shopping Mall with all the typical brands. The Airport is a hub for all of Europe with all the Major low-cost airlines.

We used Luton as a base to travel to London.
We used Luton as a base to travel to London. accom was incredibly cheap, food was cheap and there was cheap laundry facilities. The handsome cab and the jolly topers were pubs we visited and ate ate loved them both. £10 on the train into London. Close to the airport and Exactly what we wanted.

Not much in Luton except the airport and a small but lively shopping district. There's no real reason to go there unless you want very inexpensive lodging only a 1/2 hour train ride from Kings Cross.

Arndale Mall is very good.
Arndale Mall is very good. The rest of the town is very shabby and vaguely unsafe even during day. There are interesting things to see in the area. Luton airport was very close to town. I would consider staying longer next time, to visit the parks and museums but would need to find a better hotel.
“The place is fairly new and although the apartments were "utility" they were adequate and comfortable. There is a laundry, a reasonably well-equipped training room and a large screen tv room. For tolerant people wanting an extended stay (I was there for 2 weeks) I feel this is a worthwhile alternative to the hotels in Luton.”
