Luton Audio Tours

Luton is about thirty-five minutes from London St Pancras by Thameslink. Luton Airport Parkway station connects the airport to the town centre by shuttle bus. From Luton station, the town centre is a five-minute walk. London Luton Airport is one of the UK's major budget airline hubs, so the town sees large numbers of transit visitors.

Wardown Park Museum is the main cultural attraction, with good collections on local hat-making, lace, and social history in a Victorian parkland setting. Stockwood Discovery Centre in Farley Hill has the Mossman Collection, one of the most significant collections of horse-drawn vehicles in the world, alongside period gardens. St Mary's Church dates to the twelfth century and is one of Bedfordshire's most substantial medieval buildings.

Luton town centre is generally safe during the day and early evening. The main shopping streets around the Mall and the Hat District near Chapel Street are well-frequented. As with any British town centre, standard awareness applies in the evening hours and around transport hubs at busy times.

The Hat District is a regeneration area in the centre of Luton built around the surviving Victorian and Edwardian hat factory buildings near Bute Street and Church Street. Several of the old warehouses have been converted to creative workspaces and event venues. The University of Bedfordshire campus is also nearby and contributes to a student population in the area.
