Luton is a Bedfordshire town built on the hat trade and, later, the motor and aviation industries, covering the LU1 to LU4 postcode districts. London Luton Airport sits on the eastern edge of the town, and the centre has been rebuilt around The Mall shopping centre and the university campus.
Housing runs from Victorian terraces near the old hat factories to the post-war estates that grew up around Marsh Farm and Stopsley.
5 areas, one price list. Where you are moving to inside Luton changes the access, not the quote.

How to get around Luton and connect to the rest of the UK.
Two parts of Luton decide how a move here runs: Airport approach roads and Terraced streets near the old hat factories. Across the LU1, LU2, LU3 and LU4 postcode areas, controlled bays, timed loading windows and resident permits all decide where a van can legally wait. Apply to Luton Borough Council for a temporary bay suspension before your move date, and tell us about steps, gates, height barriers or a booked goods lift when you book so the right vehicle and crew are assigned.

Rail: Luton and Luton Airport Parkway stations sit on the Midland Main Line, with fast services to London St Pancras.
