Luton Town

You ​​know how, when a place gets cool and gentrified, some people say it was a dump that needed work, but others say it lost its essence and now it’s too nice? Let’s just say that Luton—both town and club—isn’t cool and hasn’t gentrified. We think it’s great — and now it’s Premier League!

Going to a Game at Luton Town

GETTING THERE: It’s an easy 20-minute walk from Luton Station. There isn’t a bus line that helps, either. PUBS: There’s nothing at or near the ground. Right outside the station is the George II, a Greene King outlet. The Bricklayers Arms is a nice, chill choice on a quiet street behind the station. The Brewery Tap, just on the edge of the city…
