Top Attractions around Luton

While Luton is a good, cheaper base for a holiday in London, it actually has a lot to recommend it as a place to visit in its own right. Wardown Park is a charming green space through which the River Lea runs – you can actually cross the river on a picture-postcard pedestrian suspension bridge. The park is also home to Wardown Park Museum, which is a great place to explore the handicrafts and hats that are a part of the area's heritage. Another place for idyllic relaxation on a sunny day is Stockwood Park, which also boasts an 18-hole golf course. One of Luton's great selling points is also the Luton Carnival, the largest one-day festival of its kind in the whole of Europe, which usually takes place each May and attracts thousands.
