Luton Airport

Luton
Luton was the centre of the UK hat making industry. Indeed Luton Town Football Club are known as 'The Hatters'. As hat wearing has become less fashionable its importance to Luton has diminished. It is the Vauxhall plant which dominates the industry in Luton now. Luton has one of the England's largest and magnificent churches that dates back to the 13c. Also of interest to the visitor are the fine stately homes of Luton House, Hatfield House and Knebworth. Any one of them would be a fine example of a Country House to visit in your rental car from Luton Airport.

Luton is 10 miles north of the M25, the orbital motorway that circles London. This means that you can be in the London suburbs very quickly.
