A large Bedfordshire town with a history of car manufacture, the success of present day Luton is helped by the presence of an international airport situated so close to London, making it an ideal place for business travellers.
This large town in Bedfordshire lies only about 30 miles northwest of London. Bordered by the M1 motorway and home to its own international airport, serviced accommodation in Luton is ideal for anyone needing easy access to London and other major destinations. Luton Railway Station runs regular services to London St Pancras International, as well as to Gatwick Airport, Brighton, and beyond – making serviced apartments in Luton a convenient choice for both business travellers.
Although once a centre for hat-making, in more recent history Luton has become best known for car and commercial vehicle manufacturing. Vauxhall produced cars here until 2002 and still builds vans in the town, while its headquarters remain local. For many towns, the decline of such a major industry – which once employed more than 30,000 people – could have been a serious setback. However, Luton has successfully transitioned to a thriving service economy, supported in large part by London Luton Airport, now a major base for EasyJet and Ryanair.
Shopping in Luton, for those staying in our serviced apartments, is a two-part experience. Having a major international airport nearby means there’s a great mix of shops and dining options right on the doorstep. In the town centre, The Mall Luton stands out as a key destination. This large complex in the heart of town has over 120 stores, plenty of parking, and a wide variety of shops including Argos, River Island, M&S, Debenhams, GAME, WHSmith, and more. Food and drink options can be found throughout, particularly in ‘Feast Street’, where you’ll find everything from Greggs and Burger King to NuCrema creperie and Abi’s Indian Street Food.
If you’re looking for something to do during your stay in our Luton serviced apartments, Stockwood Park Discovery Centre on the southwestern edge of town offers free admission and a fascinating look at local history, rural crafts, and geology. The surrounding gardens are also well worth a visit, showcasing different historical styles.
You don’t have to stay in the town all the time either – the Chiltern Hills lie just to the southwest and make for an excellent day out from your Luton serviced accommodation. Whipsnade Zoo, one of the UK’s largest, is only about five and a half miles away.
With strong transport links and a thriving local economy, Luton is an excellent base for business travellers. London Luton Airport connects to major European destinations, while the M1 motorway and Thameslink rail services provide quick access to central London, Milton Keynes, and other key business hubs. The town’s growing business parks and industrial estates attract companies in automotive, logistics, aviation, and technology.
