I had a few flights here along the time so I will share my key take-aways: - if you have a connection, speak to the staff, they will guide you to cut the queues. - mornings are extremely busy, do take into account their recommendation to arrive 2.5 - 3 hours earlier (if you also want to check out their shops and do some shopping). - if it is a straightforward go to the gate, the standard 2 hours will suffice. - you might not get seats in the crowded mornings. At 11 am was decent, but at 6 was full. - the bathrooms are mostly clean, but again, get ready to queue when the flight schedule is busy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brilliant Experience at Luton Airport! I recently passed through Luton Airport for the first time in over a decade, and what an amazing transformation! The upgrades made in recent years have completely paid off — creating a travel experience that, in my opinion, now outshines other outer London airports. The journey from St Pancras was quick and easy, with the Luton DART transfer being an absolute game-changer — efficient, modern, and seamless. Check-in and security were smooth and well organised, and the internal layout of the airport is clear, well signed, and pleasantly uncluttered. I was also impressed by the range of food and shopping options, and the staff were fantastic — friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. It made my recent weekend trip completely stress-free and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Congratulations to everyone involved in the redesign and to all the staff who make the airport run so smoothly. A truly brilliant job, Luton Airport!

I recently flew from Luton Airport to Amsterdam and had a really good experience overall. The staff were very courteous and helpful throughout the process, from check-in to security. The airport itself was clean, organised, and easy to navigate, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. There are also some nice coffee shops where you can relax before your flight, a pleasant surprise compared to many other busy airports. Overall, a solid 4-star experience, efficient, friendly, and comfortable!

The airport itself is fine for the most part — check-in and security were reasonably smooth, and staff were polite. However, during this recent heat wave the air conditioning was almost nonexistent. It was uncomfortably hot in the terminal, making the wait for boarding unpleasant. A bit more attention to climate control would make a big difference for passenger comfort.

Good food options and clean toilets. A bit crammed and long walk outside from terminal to the car park and drop off/pick up. They even have shops outside. It’s really not nice when you have to walk in the freezing cold. They need to build an extension and cover the walkway to carpark.

The access between Luton Airport and the center of London is not the most convenient, yet once you are at the airport, you find it very convenient and efficient. I got there very early in the morning. The place was fully crowded, but the check-in and security went very quickly. Inside, there is a large number of the usual duty-free stores, as well as a variety of restaurants and coffee shops. I spent more than two hours there—it was bearable…..

Luton is by far my most hated airport. It feels so far away, and the transport links are poor, which already makes the journey stressful before you even arrive. Once you get there, the building itself feels like a giant tin shed, always crammed with people and unbearably hot. The queues are endless, no matter the time of day, and with so many people squeezed into such a small space, you constantly find yourself being bumped into. Yes, there are places to eat and shop, but they don’t make up for the sheer chaos of the experience. The overcrowding, the heat, and the long waits make everything feel overwhelming. Overall, it’s a stressful, uncomfortable airport that I try to avoid at all costs.

The wife wanted to go shopping but didn't fancy MK so she said about the Arndale. Rolled my eyes 🙄 but that's where we landed. Totally surprised. What a change from the last time we visited. New seating. Clean. A new post office. New big Sports Direct. Not a load of vacant units like many of the shopping centres. Loads of small vendors selling lovely looking food. Well done.

Most of the high street retailers under one roof. The mall is large enough but gets busier over the weekends. Plenty of options for a variety of food. It's also close to the Luton bus interchange and Luton train station.

Luton Point has transformed into a vibrant hub that caters to a wide range of shopping and leisure needs. Its commitment to enhancing customer experience, combined with its community-focused initiatives, makes it a standout destination in Luton.

a boring regular long mall,with a strange bazaar maket inside. the food buisnesses and options are the top from bottom :/ toilets in the end of the mall that streches like a brocken eel, narrow and long.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place for shopping and delicious Asian food! I visit Luton Point often and always have a good experience. It’s a great spot for shopping, with a wide range of stores that cater to everyday needs. What I love most is the food options—there are plenty of places to enjoy delicious Asian cuisine. If you’re looking for Halal food, this is definitely the place to go—there are lots of Halal shops and restaurants to choose from. Clean, convenient, and culturally vibrant—Luton Point is a local gem!

Back in the 1980,s 90,s and early 2000,s this was a beautiful and vibrant place to have a day of shopping with the family. There use to a big pond with flamingoes. All the well known stores are gone. The lighting, design and architecture is dull.

Really big mall.. great shopping experience

Very poor theatre experience. Screen and theatre is too small, still the angle was not even corrected as fits on the screen. First 10 min we can't see full screen and subtitles was only half visible. Then they corrected it. I watched an Indian (malayalam) movie, i think they don't know when the movie finish, bcz before 5 minutes movie ends they switched on the lights. Need to improve the quality of service.

After reading the opinions and going to the Luton Cineworld for the first time I had a really low expectations. Well I need to say it was a nice surprise to discover how friendly and professional the staff are there. Especially the cleaning ladies, between movies, super hardworking and very polite on front of the customers. Someone deserves a pay rise 👍 Is a bit pricey (food, drinks), like in most cinema's those days. As I actually enjoyed the evening, in my subjective opinion, this place deserves more than 3.8 in Google opinions. Thank you.

Exceptional Service – Thank You Afsana! I had a wonderful experience at the cinema recently, and I just have to give a special shoutout to Afsana for her customer service! From the moment I arrived, she was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond.

Recently went to Cineworld Luton to watch The Smashing Machine. This was a movie recommended by a lovely young lady called Afsana last week. I asked about the food options, Afsans suggested the family special was value for money as I didn't want to buy too less or too much food, this was perfect for us. This girl really knows her audience and movies!! what a great choice she made for us. I throughly enjoyed my evening, Thank you Afsana for making our movie experience that much more special...

Cineworld offers an exceptional cinema experience that goes beyond just watching a movie — it’s an immersive journey into the world of film. With state-of-the-art screens like IMAX, 4DX, and Superscreen, every visit delivers stunning visuals and powerful sound that bring stories to life in unforgettable ways. The seating is comfortable, the concessions are varied and tasty, and the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Whether you're a casual moviegoer or a film fanatic with an Unlimited card, Cineworld provides top-tier entertainment that makes every movie night feel special.

Great cinema. But not enough big screens, small baskin robins, etc. But a great employee there named Alon (the poster man) phenomenal. He goes above and beyond same for Aisha the very nice women at the desk. Without them this place would be 2 star. Both definitely deserves a raise.

Staff were friendly. You have to use a pin to go to the toilets (which i find odd). The self checkout things weren't working, so you had to queue to get your ticket. It could do with a revamp, but i suspect in 10 years' time, cinemas won't be as profitable, and Cineworld will cease to exist..

A gem in Luton, deserving of every one of its 5 stars! I've visited both on weekdays and weekends, and each time it offers a truly fruitful and calm atmosphere. The beautiful gardens are a highlight, perfect for a peaceful stroll and enjoying nature's beauty. The coffee shop is a lovely spot to relax and refuel, and the old carriage exposition is fascinating – a real step back in time. It's a wonderful place to escape and enjoy some tranquillity. Highly recommend!

I haven't been here in a long time and it still delivers, the museum is good and took approximately an hour to get around. The garden was unexpectedly large it was like a laybrinth to get around, you couldn't go inside the greenhouses I assume this was because we went on the 26th September getting close to Autumn so I'm fine with that. There was a slight mishap with my hot chocolate where I got given one that tasted like coffee but this was adequately replaced.

Wonderful place with well kept grounds..a favourite when the kid's were young and now a place of tranquility to get away from the busy world outside.. excellent cafe too..

Lovely gardens and museum! We love to have picnics and walks in here. Nice little cafe and toilets available.

A warm welcome to centre. Fantastic museum containing wonderful collection of vehicles. Lovely and interesting gardens . Really good cafe and shop. So good that it is free entry.

Beautiful park with a golf course, museum, coffee shop and play area for kids. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely place to visit with a whole family, it's free, it's interesting, full of exciting exhibitions for fans of history, although a lot of places (especially greenhouses in the gardens) seemed unaccessible on our recent visit. There're a coffee shop, toilets, and playgrounds. The staff is kind, and the gift shop has a lot of lovely knicknacks. Fantastic place for a walk or picnic, but some parts of the gardens seem a little run down recently.

Such a beautiful park for mini adventures and picnics with the family. We even planned a lovely afternoon tea style picnic celebration for my niece before her wedding. Definitely recommend 10/10. Something for all the family!

Brilliant open space for families. 2 Playgrounds for the kids. Discovery Centre is excellent. Just need to get a swimming pool /leisure centre / outdoor paddle area and it would be the most sought after place to go in South Luton.

It was OK. We as a family had fun but unfortunately where we were walking at one place we saw 3 pempers. So a family before us has picnic and changed their babies but left that mess. All I can say shame on them

Nice - the golf course seems well tended and well frequented, the wilder areas are managed so they haven't become too wild and the size of the place gives plenty to explore. Downsides, it's directly under the flight path right next to the airport so the planes here are frequent and very loud. Also there's a potentially lovely pond right at the back which could be nice but it's sadly neglected and full of rubbish.

I visit stockwood park regularly and each time have a nice break. the park is really big and has a lot to offer, there’s football teams that play, golf and athletics track. the park is clean every time i visit and the trees seem to be well kept. the golf grass when i went was cut well and everything in the park seemed maintained. i must admit i got sort of lost at one point and struggled reading the map but that could just be me. if you’re looking to walk and explore or even sit down for a picnic/play around, it’s a good spot for anyone thanks for reading!

EDIT: Have come back post-COVID and spent the entire day here. Discovery Center is great for the kids and facilities are clean. On-site cafe is recommended for an ice-cream or coffee. There is a large green space in front and behind the center, perfect for picnics in the summer.

A lovely location to visit. With so much to see. A great family day out at the Museum With so much history inside. Also has a cafe in side loads seating. A wonderful place for a picnic also on the nice weather And there has more to offer In the surrounding area / horse ride / golf / big fields / parks . Plenty of parking

Ordered king fries with cheese and bacon, in my understanding king -must be big . Received small portion normal size soggy fries. Lol never again paid nearly £5

Despite being a less well-maintained Burger King crying out for a refurb, the double whopper with cheese is still the best burger ever. You can't beat that flame-grilled taste.

I went to eat some vegan nuggets in this BK outlet. The manager was helpful as he helped me to use a special offer from my BK app. The nuggets were good and really good there is a vegan nugget option. Well done BK! My 4 stars are because this outlet feels well dated and not very inviting so I would say a refurbishment would be welcome

Place was clean and the burger was amazing,unfortunatley the fries were exeptionally soggy and tasted quite funky

I always feel Burger King is the best when compared to other collective restaurants of its chain because of the Burger which has a perfect taste and proper quantity of burger.

This Burger King is a right manky old dump. It looks very dated and depressing both inside and out. It could really benefit from a refurb or relocation, neither of which will happen as you instantly get the impression that their head office don’t give a toss about this place. When asking for some ketchup, staff look at you like you’ve just urinated on their apron and give you ONE poxy sachet, just enough for a 4 chips. Either cook at home or go elsewhere. Don’t waste your money here. *Edit* 03/09/2025 This location has now permanently shut down which is no surprise given my original review.

Went there today and got a long texas king box meal with nuggets. It was edible but not brilliant. Was served at the most furthest left hand side cashiers register around 2ish pm. The staff member was extremely difficult to understand. This staff member went around the back to help prepare my box meal and I saw that one of the unfolded boxes that these meals go into had fallen on the floor... it was then kicked around by this member of staff untill another chief decided to pick it up off the floor and put it back with the others :-/ poor show

It’s probably one of the best pub in Luton central. When you download the Whetherspoon application it gets much easier.. you just order with your table number and the team handles the rest for you. Audience and the environment pretty fine.. what can be expected from Luton central tho. The pub kinda preserves its own quality and hence you’d enjoy it smoothly.. Not a best place for a first date but why not for second date 😁.. I like this place anyway

Massive Wetherspoons. Probably one of the biggest we have visited. Lovely building. Plenty of outside seating & the inside was huge with an upstairs for over 16s only which is a nice touch. Loved the library theme throughout the pub & really enjoyed our visit. Plate, bacon, mushrooms, beans, 2 x eggs, hash browns & tomatoes were all hot. Staff were very polite & helpful & would come back again if we were ever close to Luton again. Only one small negative was the men's toilets were hard to find tucked away behind the fruit machines. A couple of more signs would help. Thanks.

Great pre-movie meal with friends. Not expensive and generous starters to share. I loved the Halloumi fries!

Nice atmosphere. Very decent crowd. Very peaceful. There is so much space inside and outside. Food is not that good. Affordable prices. The place is clean.

One of the biggest Wetherspoons I’ve been to — an impressive building with loads of outdoor seating and a huge interior. The upstairs area for over-16s is a great idea, and the library theme throughout adds a lovely touch. Our food — bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, hash browns, and tomatoes — was served hot and tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful, and we’d definitely return if we’re ever back in Luton. The only minor issue was that the men’s toilets were a bit tricky to find, tucked behind the fruit machines — a few more signs would make things easier.

Hello, everyone. I visited this place last night with my friends. The food was good. We had American cheese burgers with chips and red wine. The staff were lovely, very kind and professional. I would definitely receive this place. Also, it's huge inside and the terrace side big enough for stays - especially during the summer ☀️ Have a great day, Guys and keep up the fantastic work 👏

Great value for money. Plenty of seats. Good atmosphere.

Can not fault. The place is superbly decorated, giving a real higher class feel. Our food was absolutely amazing, I had the king prawns in spaghetti. The sauce was thick and silky. The cherry tomatoes were incredible, but the spaghetti !!!!! It was cooked to perfection. My wife, on the other hand, had a margarita pizza (not very adventurous). Still, she said it was delicious and well worth the money. I can't recommend carriages enough, and it's going to be my new Thursday night restaurant.

Visited Aug2025. An outstanding restaurant and bar. Food is immaculate, packed with flavour. Wine list is long. Bar is well-stocked. Service is very attentive, and tunes in with its guests very well, including humour when appropriate to do so. Pics: mushrooms in tomato sauce, fresh tuna steak (medium-rare), Sicilian cannoli.

Been here a couple of times now, once during the week and once on a Sunday for a roast. Food here doesn't disappoint. Good menu options, reasonable priced and nicely done. The staff and team are wonderful and friendly. Often they have music playing in the outside seating area which is a nice touch. Great date night place.

Lovely food, excellent service and atmosphere, would come again. Thank you so much to the staff

Simply amazing! Food was fantastic quality and really delicious - pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, had both the lobster and ragu. Also the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever tried! Friendly staff, great value and great atmosphere with some lovely music playing throughout. Would highly recommend!

This is a great restaurant with really attentive staff and a great chef you actually get to meet. The food is exceptional and I have been back many times. Their theme nights are highly recommended.

I found this place online and they delivered a good pizza, so I went here for one of my first solo dates to have dinner. The atmosphere was a bit cold as the restaurant is probably studied for couples and families, and it made me feel a bit uneasy. The staff was lovely and the food was good, I went for the fish. I had starter, main and dessert, so the price reflects a well portioned 3 course meal of this quality. Maybe a bit salty for my taste, but the quality and freshness was definitely there. It’s a place that has authentic Italian dishes for the majority of it. I ordered the dessert, and I wasn’t impressed, but overall I liked it. The facilities were very clean and classy. The music was also a plus for any nostalgic Italian in the area, definitely worth a try, it’s a romantic place for a date.

Maggie served us and was brilliant. She was so incredibly kind and helpful. I was disappointed with my Guinness and she straight away went and re-poured it and was so kind and understanding in the process. She was truly amazing! I’ve attached the fist and second Guinness just to show the difference!

It was busy for a reason. Friendly staff who took my allergies seriously. I had the American pancakes and they were stunning. A lot bigger than what I was expecting too. A good meal and reasonably priced.

Quickly served and tasty food. Swathi (one of the attending ladies) was very sweet, gave me the window table just next the flight board so I don't get late for my flight. Will come back

Don't believe the negative reviews. It's a nice place with friendly and helpful staff. The food came quickly enough and was hot and well cooked and prepared. Can't complain at all. It's not the cheapest, but what do you expect at an airport 🤷‍♂️ Main thing is that it was good quality, hot and the atmosphere wasn't rushed. Thank you.

Had a really good experience here thanks to Leonel. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. He checked in at just the right times, was attentive without being over the top, and made everything run smoothly. It’s not often you come across service like that in an airport setting, but Leonel really stood out and made the stop feel a lot more enjoyable. Food was decent too!

I recently visited this place and was lucky to be seated at a window table, which made the experience even nicer. We ordered two burgers and a rack of ribs. The ribs were fantastic – tender and full of flavor, especially with the buffalo sauce. The burgers, however, were a bit of a letdown as the buns weren’t very fresh and felt slightly hard. Still, the overall food quality was good, even if not the best. Drinks were on the expensive side, but that’s to be expected given the airport location. Service was around a 3.5/5. We were seated and served quickly, which was great, but you do have to go to the bar to order food and drinks, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, it’s a decent spot with good ribs and a nice atmosphere if you’re at the airport.

Our time at the airport was completely transformed thanks to Vlad. From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with such warmth and professionalism that it immediately put us at ease during what can often be a stressful travel day. If you’re passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by Smithfield—you’ll be glad you did, especially if you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Vlad.

This English Heritage site is a decent home and gardens. The house doesn’t have tons to see - a few fairly empty rooms on the ground floor (library, drawing room, etc), a staircase, and 4-5 room exhibition. If you take the free wallpaper tour, it will take you upstairs to three rooms, and last around 30 minutes. Candidly I wasn’t sure about a wallpaper tour beforehand, but it was interesting and they provided extra tidbits about the room and family as well. However, there is not tons to see in the house otherwise - a few signs, and 15-20 minutes in the exhibition, which goes through the decor, sport, leisure, gardens, use in World War I, family, etc. Gardens: When we came, the main gardens were closed for high winds, so could only experience the smaller gardens closest to the house. Dairy sculpture garden: We also missed as wasn’t very well marked on signs. One room with a few sculptures nice to visit. (To access from the entrance, walk through the gardens nearest the house, and it’s on the opposite end/far side of the house.) Cafe has a nice selection of lunch and cakes, with options for both indoor and outdoor seating. Small shop with a few interesting options available. Kids play area looked well used. Parking is on grass outside the gate. Toilets clean though dated near the front. Single toilet also in the house.

I had a really enjoyable walk around the grounds, beautiful place to explore. Many different sights to see, nice woodlands, beautiful gardens and swans!! The house is large but the area you can explore is very small in comparison. They do have tours to explore the upstairs, next time I'm there i will try and check that out. The rooms you can see are beautiful. Staff are friendly, had a nice chat with a gentleman who explained the history of one of the rooms and where lots of the bits came from, very fascinating, thank you very much. Plenty of parking and clean toilets.

Really lovely day here. The grounds are fabulous with something around every corner. Amazing planted beds and conservatory. Enjoyed the round building at the end of the waterway and seeing the swans take off along the waterway. Great cafe with lots of choice, delicious cakes and tasty pastries. Very kind and helpful staff at every point. Good play area for the children too.

Such a lovely place, very dog and kid friendly! We really enjoyed the garden tour, and it’s great that there are a few different tours available each day of the week. You just need to get your free tickets from the shop. It was quite busy, but I’m blaming the perfect weather, school holidays, and the fact that we went on a Sunday. The volunteers were all so helpful and knowledgeable, which made the visit even better. Overall, we really liked it, a perfect day out with the family!

A charming house with large amounts of parkland, beautifully kept by English Heritage. The entrance fee for adults before any concessions is £22 but well worth it. Dogs welcome on leads. Bring your own sandwiches or use their cafe and you could easily spend the day here exploring the house and huge outdoor areas. I found all staff and the volunteers particularly charming (much more so than at some National Trust locations). Highly recommended.

As a proud member of English Heritage, I love exploring the many historic sites they care for — and with over 400 properties under their care, Wrest Park truly stands out as one of the gems! Wrest Park is a fantastic place to visit. The expansive grounds offer endless space to wander and take in the beautiful scenery. If you get tired, an electric buggy service is available to take you closer to the garden entrance — very handy! Just be sure to keep an eye out for it, as it’s constantly on the move and easy to miss. The staff were exceptionally friendly and well-informed, making the experience even more enjoyable. The house itself is stunning — steeped in history and filled with elegant, detailed rooms that feel like stepping back in time. A heartfelt thank-you to the team for helping me retrieve my lost necklace. They found it the following day and kindly reached out to return it — such a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot. With plenty of benches to rest on, peaceful surroundings, and a welcoming atmosphere, Wrest Park is an absolute must-visit for anyone in the area — especially if you’re an English Heritage member!

Nice place to spend a few hours and not too far from home. Went on a Monday in October so was a bit misty and damp, but quiet . Had a look around the house and grounds, then popped into cafe, which was very busy. Nice selection of cakes.

Quaint little shopping village with some interesting boutique outlets. Some currently closed due to the recent flooding. Good Christmas shop with all the usual bits and pieces, got a few nice beers ready for the festive season. Nice cafe on site doing the usual hot and cold drinks and snacks at really sensible prices. Definitely recommend a quick stop if in the area.

We had such a wonderful experience celebrating a birthday breakfast at this charming café. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — perfect for a family gathering. What really stood out was the way they made an extra effort for our daughter, the birthday girl. They added special touches that made her feel truly celebrated, and it meant a lot to all of us. Our grandson was also treated like a VIP — the staff made a lovely fuss over him, and he was absolutely beaming the entire time. The food was delicious and was a hit with everyone. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great breakfast spot — whether you’re celebrating or just enjoying a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!

We visited Summer Beach this week and it was such a lovely, magical experience — perfect for children and families. My daughter absolutely loved the beach itself in the mill and had been looking forward to going back. Unfortunately, when my mum took her today into the gemstone shop afterwards, her experience was completely ruined. My daughter is 11 years old, disabled, and lives with autism and epilepsy. She’s sensible, respectful, and full of wonder — the exact kind of child you’d hope would be welcomed in a place filled with treasures. But the man in the shop kept telling her not to touch anything and warned that she’d be “out of pocket” if she broke something — which was really unfair and uncalled for. She hadn’t done anything wrong. He also repeatedly talked about his son making things on the computer with 3D printing, which felt oddly pointed and left my daughter feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. What should have been a fun, inclusive outing left her upset and singled out. It’s a real shame, because Summer Beach itself was amazing — but the attitude in the gemstone shop let it all down. I’d really urge the owners to consider how they speak to and treat children with additional needs. It matters.

A little bit out of the way. Blink and you will pass it on the dual carriageway, of the A6, on the way to / from Luton. About 13 miles from Bedford. A jewel of a quaint small shopping centre. Oldie worldly shops set in the grounds of an old watermill. Occasional craft fairs are held, with hand made items. The Christmas shop is well worth a visit. Opening this year 2025, on the Saturday 27th September. Restaurant/cafe on site. Small garden centre. Chinese takeaway tucked round the corner, at the back of the watermill. Opens at 5pm. I can recommend it 😋. After an afternoon browsing round the shops, have a takeaway. A good afternoon out 👍. Log on to their website to find the next events.

Visited with my grandchildren today, they had a lovely time on the train ride. We then went to the restaurant for lunch which was absolutely delicious, very generous servings, staff were all attentive even though it was quite busy. I finished with the coffee cake which was lovely. We will definitely be going back for lunch soon!

Lots of interesting little shops, kids particularly enjoyed looking for jewelry. Great selection in the Christmas barn. Cafe: sandwiches and chips looked / smelt great. We bought cakes and 4 hot drinks but the hot drinks took 15 mins to arrive then one was forgotten. Kids also enjoyed looking at the fish in the large pond.

Took the car to a car show here during the summer and never been here before I was unaware of what layed inside oh my god what a fantastic surprise this place is one of a kind with so many little shops and cafes , this place is like stepping back in time, all I can say is you have to visit here for a truly wonderful experience

I didn’t believe first that we can see horses in there. After a long walk I found a herd of horses. I was excited and anxious at the same time. But the horses are really friendly. I was watching them in long distance and they came to me. Barton hills is wonderful place for walk. Not crowded. Roadside parking available.

Great place to walk to with lots of beautiful views if you take the long way around. The Springs are actually easily accessible from a footpath from the local play park but it was great to visit via the bridleway although it is mainly uphill before crossing over the top field using the footpath and crossing along the ridges and then taking the path down.

One of my favourite places in the world. The way the atmosphere changes as you wander from woodland to spring and into rolling hills is something incredibly special. It can be busy by the water in the nice weather, particularly in the school holidays, but if you can catch quieter times you will hear an incredible variety of birds and really experience the atmospherics of the place. I love the fact there is no visitor centre and purpose built footpaths. It’s rare to be really in nature these days. I’m very greatful to everyone who works to maintain the area. Thank you!

I went early in the morning. Beautiful place for a walk. Playground for children near by.

A real gem and as per - previous reviewer also one of my favourite places. Chalk stream is one of only approx. 250 globally. Many rarities. Good for "cardio" any time of year come rain or shine!

My favourite picture I've taken in the English countryside 😍 No toilet facilities when you're up in the hills so be prepared for that 😭 especially on a hot day when still trying to stay hydrated.

A wonderful hill surrounded by forest, right next to a small cemetery and a large park with a playground. Stunning views, beautiful grazing horses, and plenty of paths for walking and cycling.

My daughter was running in the Park run, which is held every Saturday at 9am. It's a fairly large park with a pond. It appeared clean enough but then again it was early and I was half asleep 🤣 The paths are suitable for wheelchair users and people with poor mobility. Ducks, geese and even a few squirrels if you are lucky.

We unexpectedly visited Wardown Park in Luton in the evening, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The park is incredibly spacious, with plenty of parking available. Its main attractions include picturesque walking bridges, a serene river, and various activities for children. If you're looking for a peaceful walk surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of birds chirping, this is the perfect spot. There's also a small shop in the park that serves delicious ice cream 🍨🍦 and some hot snacks, adding to the charm of the visit. A true hidden gem, Wardown Park is a must-visit!

I recently spent some time at Wardown Park with my daughter, and I can honestly say it was a very calm and refreshing experience. The park is well-kept, peaceful, and conveniently located, not too far from the town centre and also quite close to where I live. It's one of those places you may easily overlook, but once you visit, you realise how much it has to offer, especially for families. My daughter had plenty of space to run around and enjoy herself. There’s a decent play area for children, and the open green space gives them room to explore while parents can relax or enjoy a quiet stroll. The park has a beautiful lake, shaded paths, and plenty of benches, which makes it ideal for casual outings, picnics, or just a bit of downtime. If you live in Luton, particularly near the town centre, and you’re looking for somewhere safe and child-friendly, Wardown Park is definitely worth considering. During school holidays, there are often family events or local activities happening, which adds even more to the experience. It’s a lovely spot to unwind, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with your children without travelling too far from home. The only concern I have is inability to access public restrooms, I’m not sure if it’s always in use aside during winter. Also, they can do well to care more for the lakefront area. Hence why I’m rating 4/5. All the same job well done to the team looking after the Park.

Wardown Park is a wonderful spot for the whole family! There's a lovely play area for kids, and it's always nice to see the geese, squirrels and other birds around. The park is perfect for relaxing stroll or a picnic and it even has a café and toilets, making it super convenient for a day out. It's definitely worth a visit.

This is a very nice local park with a little lake where you can rent boats, walk your dog, there are some food stalls, and it's generally a quiet place, perfect for a walk and some peace after a busy day. There is a playground for children too. My only complain are the people who sometimes throw garbage on the ground but it has nothing to do with the park itself. I wish people were more mindfulnof green spaces.

Wardown park is owned by Luton Borough Council, the park was opened in 1904. It's a nice place for a family picnic. It's got a lake full of ducks, gooses, and wild birds. There's a museum that's open 5 days a week and a large children's play area.

Such a beautiful place for a walk, have fun with family & friend, a walk, picnic n many more. Lovely kids play ground area as soon as u entered. Beautiful lake full of geese, ducks. Park is full of wild nature. Was missing swans. A lot of benches, bandstand, tennis court etc areas around. A cafe is there. It reminds me same like Hyde Park or St James park I used to go for a walk n enjoy nature. I wish people take care of rubbish they throw everywhere especially next to kids play area. Overall I enjoyed my walk there in autumn colours all around. Just amazing.

I had an amazing experience today! The 50% off deal made it such a great value for two delicious burgers and loaded fries. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, leaving me more than satisfied. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for great food and excellent service!

So I stopped by again after a long day, and honestly this place continues to deliver. The burger was exactly what you want it to be: juicy, well-seasoned, with that fresh crunch of lettuce and a perfectly melted slice of cheese holding it all together. The onion rings? Golden, crispy, and not greasy at all the kind you can eat one after another without feeling heavy. And that green fizzy drink ( virgin bull) was a refreshing surprise - light, crisp, and the perfect balance to the meal. What I really appreciate is the consistency - everything comes hot, well-packaged, and feels like it's been made with care. Thank you again for paying attention to the details and making something so simple feel special.

It was a decent burger that I enjoyed. However, the regular fries were somewhat bland, lacking seasoning. On the bright side, the loaded fries had a generous amount of meat on them. I would definitely order again if I find myself in the area.

DONT GO TO THIS PLACE, staff is rude! Found hair in the food. Instead of changing it, the staff is saying it’s not there staff hair it’s my husbands hair. Asked for a refund the manager refused to give refund

Decent food, decent service, decent portions, pricing? Pre order spoke to the manager who advised what burgers are popular etc. steered to order the standard burger meal with a portion of Thai sauce wings. Total came to £22. 40. After ordering saw they had a poster with exactly what I ordered but priced at £20. Made no sense why the manager didn't recommend that instead of pricing me separately for each item! Food was ready in about 15 minutes, everything was fresh, the burgers were good double smash burgers, the chips were perfect. The wings were big and fresh, very saucy. Meal was good, prices a little questionable, however worth the visit .

Absolutely disgraceful. Look at the pictures, small portions, small burgers - mediocre at best, zero sauces - not even a single tub of Harrisons. Are you cost cutting for your rent/business rates? Do you think I want to eat the chips dry? Also, their loaded fries stinks badly of the cheesy sauce. We waited over one hour for this mediocre meal. The price does not justify the quality and consistency. If you charge me premium prices, I want a premium second to none experience.

One of my favourite burger spots after peri peri 🤩 it’s just so unique and good! I love there it’s clucking nice with their special sauce and PINEAPPLE. Trust me it’s an amazing blend of spicy and sweet. It’s the only burger I order. I love their sweet chilli wings as well, it’s absolutely amazing for great prices. I have also tried their loaded fries but it’s a bit too saucy for me, I prefer something plain to have with my juicy burger and wings. Still an amazing taste though!

I live near Cods Plaice. It’s always been top notch until the last two times I’ve visited , both on Mondays. The first I had a large cod which was cooked fresh but overcooked to the point the fish was tough at the edges. The second time today I had an adult portion of cod bites. Cooked ok but only a few morsels of fish. So disappointed. Chips have always been good. Sort it out Cods Plaice.

I have used this chippy for many years. The proprietor is a lovely kind man and have often had many chats whilst waiting for my order. Over the last year, due to working from home I have often used the Just Eat option for my lunch whilst being unable to leave home. Several occasions there has been an issue receiving my order either by a notification to say it has been delivered when it hasn't or it not being delivered with no idea where the order ended up. Everytime I rang the shop and I spoke to a woman. This is where my review turns negative. Her customer service skills are absolutely terrible. She was not the slightest bit interested in the fact my order did not arrive. Constantly telling me it is not her problem and the order has left the shop so therefore no longer her responsibility. Whilst I understand they can't control the drivers actions at least acknowledge the fact there has been an issue and offer some kind of assistance instead of simply not giving a toss and making it known too! I've been left out of pocket due to this. If she is not prepared to help those affected by the service they have offered by using Just Eat, maybe do not offer the delivery service.

Ordered through just eat, for a family gathering. One item missing, phoned shop, no interest in sorting problem, just told to request a refund through just eat. Only interested in getting me off the phone to get money from other customers, not interested in getting missing item delivered, clearly I was an inconvenience pointing out their error. I thought this place was good but clearly typical poor customer service.

Visited tonight whilst staying with the In-Laws and had high hopes - it's in a great location with plenty of parking and at 6pm, it was nicely busy with the fish being cooked from fresh. Decent portions - we opted for Haddock and whilst it was OK it really was let down by the batter which looked crispy - well the top was but the inside batter (?) Wasn't cooked and wasnt great. Chips were very good - ust wish chip shops would get their batter sorted, it can't be that difficult and makes a huge difference.

Found it quite expensive, but called to complain as my pot of gravy was literally like water! Had clearly been over done in the microwave that ot was thin and no flavour!

Used to come here about a year ago all the time and it was good, nice crispy chips but came here today around 6pm and the chips were soggy and just didn’t taste nice. Cant complain about the girl who served me though, she was welcoming and friendly… just a shame about the food. Hopefully its just a one off

Always friendly and helpful - they now operate an online ordering for collection or delivery which is very easy to use. Delicious fish and chips too.

A great old fashioned ground with unique access for away fans. Food and drink not too bad. Not the best place to find somewhere to park unless you arrive very early. At least they've moved the disabled supporters away from the shared area with home fans. The new area is a lot easier to get to with all facilities in close proximity. That's one of the better things Luton have done.

Good old fashioned football stadium, but as a result obviously facilities are not up to modern standards. Policing of the ground leaves alot to be desired and due to its location is difficult to get to and from when there is heavy traffic. Not in the best area, but these are the sort of grounds we'll look back on wearing rose tinted spectacles, when they've all gone.

A bias 5 stars coming from a Luton Town fan and season ticket holder but it is one hundred percent a great old school ground, I've been on the stadium tour earlier this year which is great and I would recommend provided by Hatters heritage. Also attended the open training session this year which is a great family event they typically do once a season.

Excellent match programme look forward to your new stadium at power court

Great club fantastic support even at lowest point we believe in the club

LUTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB ⚽️ NICKNAME IS THE HATTERS 🎩 BECAUSE OF LUTON'S HISTORICAL CONNECTION WITH HAT-MAKING TRADE, THE HATTERS HAVE PLAYED THEIR HOME GAMES AT KENILWORTH ROAD SINCE 1905, GREAT LEGEND PLAYERS OVER THE DECADES LIKE MICHAEL HARFORD, LES SEALEY,PETER NICHOLAS, PAUL WALSH AND STEVE FOSTER,AND MOST OF ALL THE ICON MANGER DAVID PLEAT, WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCES TO BE HERE AT THIS OLD FOOTBALL GROUND 🎩⚽️🐦

Stadium for Luton Town Football Club since 1905 , hosting Youth , Women and International Football League

I visit often, it's a vital community facility for exercise,fresh air and mental health wellbeing. Clean with little litter around. We'll kept grass and surroundings. Great kids playground that is well used. Awesome views from the top of the hill. I'd love to see the Brick structure finally turned into a coffee shop/ toilets. I noticed the last green flag award was 2021/2022. It's not too far away from being award worthy again.

One of the nicest parks in Luton. It has a playground for children. Basketball court. Unfortunately you can’t use the toilets, they are locked. Dog owners need to be more responsible and clean up so that the park will be safe for children and not step on it. People’s park is always crowded in the summer and sometimes there is a fair, car boot sale and stalls selling food. The park recently got some exercise equipment that’s open for visitors. The kids love the monkey bars and leg lifts. Paid parking is available.

Such a nice open green sea. Having a kids play hound in one corner n other hand exercise area for young ones. Perfect for running. Benches in all side, love that hill side area like a forest. Even look perfect in autumn. Nice view from the top. One thing I didn’t like, people just throw their trash everywhere which is going to put this park beauty down.

Today we along with kids visited Peoples Park, Bells close, Luton. Very nice lush green Park in the area with many different rides for kids to enjoy. Around the Park there is walking track for walk lovers. Kids enjoyed rides and then enjoyed playing basket ball and tennis.

Nice place to take everyone, babies, kids and adults. Nature is all around us so some hiking to get to the top is worth it. If not the playground is a great place to br as well. Extra things for kids to play would be amazing!

This is a lovely green space with grassy fields, kids playground and space for quick workout, located at Bells Close, High Town in the Luton neighbourhoods. It's a great place for families to hang out and chill. It has a relaxing atmosphere where you can watch the kids play and do some workouts at the mini gym space. And you can bring your snacks and drinks 😋 Awesome experience!😎

A small park hidden in the back streets of Luton. Great place to walk 5he dog and let the kids loose. The only issue is lazy people who do not pick up their dogs mess. There are plenty of bins to drop the mess into. Shame as this is a nice little park.

A hidden gem of a music club to be found nestled in an unlikely venue in the heart of Luton. Staff are friendly and welcoming with a good selection of ‘Squirrel’ beers. We saw high quality music with Savannah and her girls supported by Dom Glynn. We will definitely be back for more. (It’s not a food place)

The Bear Club is a great tucked away bar in Luton that hosts fantastic Jazz, Blues and all things in between. We (group of 4) bought our tickets in advance and arrived when doors opened to ensure we got a seat. The drinks were well mixed and the service was great. A very welcoming and relaxing environment to ensure some great music.

What an INCREDIBLE VENUE. The atmosphere and welcoming was the perfect scene setter for an evening of astonishing musical talent. I plan to return as much as possible. It’s the kind of place I want them to know my name. Very cool.

It's a crime i didn't get here until recently but exactly what you want from a jazz club. Professional musicians, timeless atmosaphere, decor, and a interesting range of whiskeys from all over the place. Top notch

First visit to this wonderful local club. I almost don't want to tell you about it in fear of it getting too popular! Wonder45 have been in my radar for a year or so and they didn't disappoint. Can't wait until we visit again,next week.

If you want a high quality night of music in Luton you’ve come to the right place. Step inside and you’re transported to a world of casual cool. Jazz, blues, swing, rock and all in between. Comedy and drink and draw nights… what more could you want? Great drinks, check! Great staff- check! Great atmosphere! It’s got it all. The Bear is a place you can go solo and still have a great time. Chat to the staff for five minutes and you’ll be made to feel at home and leave feeling like you’ve known them for a while. During the break have a wander around and take a look at the shelves and the wall behind the bar. Plenty to see amongst the music. Even though it’s one of the best venues it’s still a best kept secret and you’ll leave feeling like you’ve discovered a hidden gem.

This was our first time and we absolutely loved it! Firstly on the venue - it’s really great intimate space, when you can sit nice and close to the artists and really connect with session. Prices of drinks are about average as to what you expect, so not too bad either. You do need to arrive early if you would like your pick of seating. In terms of the act, we went to see: Mario Bakuna, a fantasy quartet made up of a drummer, bass guitar, saxophone and autistic guitar/lead singer. It was their first time at the venue and I’m very confident they will be back, they were fantastic, a great range of styles, we thoroughly enjoyed, would recommend and would go again.

One word: disappointing! Food was atrociously bad, disgusting actually. We ordered starters, mains and a dessert. My lasagne bolognese (pictured below) had the texture of a soup, which tells me it was previously frozen and not fresh, it also had a rather unpleasant slighly sweet flavour. My mum's pasta Carbonara was made with cream - total shame as everyone knows that authentic Italian Carbonara is made with egg yolks in Italy... Finally, the chocolate cheesecake dessert was another big disappointment - a cheesecake they clearly bought from Tesco or Audi, sliced it and then just put it on a plate, it definitely was not made fresh in the kitchen. Staff were trying to deceive us the whole evening by being too friendly and even lied to us that 'if we want to try authentic fresh Italian food, we've come to the right place'. The waiter also refused to serve tap water as it is usually 'FREE' - instead, he told us: 'We gotta be able to charge you for it so we cannot serve you tap water, only bottled available'. What a joke. After consuming their calamari starter and lasagne, I had stomach issues as soon as I got home. In total we paid 60 GBP for an extremely disappointing and meh meal. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place like the plague.

This authentic fine dining Italian restaurant is absolutely brilliant. I originally read an article in the news about it online where it was complimented for the delicious food and fantastic service it offers at an incredible value and situated in Luton. From there on, I was keen to experience this myself, I headed over on a Friday night, made the reservation half hour before (luckily that had a table available) and we were welcomed warmly. The menu has plenty of options to choose from, the food was exceptionally delicious, the starters - the calamari, the garlic bread, the bruschetta, all of it was extremely well cooked and had wonderful flavours! The main courses we ordered were fantastic, all tasting incredible. The desert was tasty and a great way to end the meal. The staff were very attentative, very professional but also making us feel so comfortable. Lovely family business from the looks of it. The owner asked us how our food is, he also ensured the ingredients were accommodating our taste buds in terms of spices etc. Overall, an exceptionally great Italian restaurant, that is now on my top 10 list of great places to eat! Brilliant, 5 stars 🌟

30 years dining here and it is always fantastic. Lovely to see Leonardo and Italia again - normally my appetite as I get older reduces but the food is so good here we can still manage 2-3 courses and drinks - thank you all for making every visit as special as the first x

Authentic Italian Delight in Luton. My visit to this traditional Italian restaurant in Luton was an unforgettable gastronomic experience. The menu, deeply rooted in authentic Italian cuisine, offered an array of rich, flavorful dishes that far surpassed my expectations. Every bite transported me directly to a charming Italian trattoria. A real gem in Luton's culinary scene. Highly recommended for any food lover! Five stars.

My wife and I like to travel to try new restaurants and the Monna Lisa was over an hour’s drive to get to. Unfortunately it is not situated in the most salubrious part of Luton and parking is difficult and the interior décor harps back to the 70’s with its artexed ceilings and walls and false timber beams. However, they must save their money for the fresh ingredients and decent wine. We were met by two very nice ladies who showed us to a table, and we were give the menu, note – the menu is huge, and it is recommended that you look at it on their website first to get a rough idea as to what you are likely to order before arriving. I had the arrabiata chicken, (see photo), and my wife the trout – both cooked exactly as we liked. I ordered peas and I was informed they were cooked Italian style, with onions and in a tomato sauce, something I have not had before. And although they looked a bit weird, see photo, they were actually, very tasty. We booked relatively early, (7 pm), and by 8 pm they were full – so pre book. The main surprise was when we received the bill. For a 3-course meal, a bottle of wine and two beers, it came to £82.00 – very good value. If I have one complaint – I tried to book the table via their web site that promised to reply, by phone within 24 hours – a week late they hadn’t, so I called direct. The first time the person I spoke to could not hear me, the second time they kept breaking up, and the third time I got the booking – so some work needed in that area. But over all an excellent meal and we will definitely be back. Thanks Monna Lisa.

Amazing place, took one of the very tasty chef's specials. The owner and the chef is real Italian, the raw materials are imported, the price is good and the place has a warn authentic feel.

The tomato sauce is amazing, I have never eaten such delicious. I love it very much 😋😋

The ladies were so helpful as it was My first time there Helped me getting the right cake The place was clean And that is my go place for my sweet tooth

Last minute birthday cake!! Amy kindly helped us wrap up a lovely cake nearly closing hours. Much appreciated. She thinks about customers and always puts them first! The cake tasted amazing many thanks for the rest of the staff who helped prepare this for us. Will be coming back again. Thank you Amy & all staff.

Neha was extremely helpful in a cake emergency. She suggested the wording and piped in 5 minutes. So friendly and helpful! She saved the day!

Thanks Natasha for serving this beautiful cake ❤️

I can’t thank Natasha, Balvir, and Parveen enough for their outstanding service and kindness! 🥹 On Wednesday, I came to collect a cake I had ordered for a surprise baby boy shower. I selected the “Chocolate & Pink Curls” design online and chose blue as the colour option on the website, assuming the entire cake would be themed accordingly. However, when I collected it, only the piping on the top was blue — the side curls remained pink and chocolate. I also used a heart emoji in the personalised message, which unfortunately came through on the system as “????”. I was honestly so disappointed — especially knowing it was an oversight on my part. But these three lovely ladies really came through for me. Despite it being the last collection slot of the day, they took the time to make all the modifications I requested and completely saved the cake for the occasion. I am so grateful for their patience, empathy, and the extra effort they made. I truly hope their management recognises the care and dedication they show to customers and that they are rewarded! Thank you again, ladies! You turned a stressful moment into a beautiful memory. 🩵

The whole cake was delivered damaged! And bad communication did not recive refund the whole birthday was spoiled

We ordered 2 sundaes, and they arrived and they were just a bit of whipped cream and thin slices of cake, a sundae has ice cream, always, but this was a complete rip off

Two visits in recent weeks. First chanced upon a karaoke night and had a great time for a few hours. Second a planned day out from Dartford for their spring beer festival. Nice beer festival held in their back garden, nice choice of beers. Lovely friendly staff, not too expensive. Very community focused. LGBTQ+ friendly. In my opinion best real ale pub in Luton. Location - High Town, 2 mins or less walk from the train station. Also worth a visit (for historic interior only - no real ale) The Painters Arms just up the road.

Absolute treasure of a pub due to the people and the vibe. They have lovely beers, you can bring in any food you like (I have seen full on picnics happening!) and dogs are very welcome. Also the back garden is ace!

Came out of station and thought let me try any Luton pub because hardly i have tried. Found it on google this one near with good reviews. Very chill & calm atmosphere. Really local pub for local people. Nice craft ales kept very well. Good service and there was a piano in a corner.

Amazing place! We ended up here randomly and it quickly became one of the best places we visited in the UK. Extremely welcoming, cheerful and friendly people, very interesting interior decorations. Rustic and casual. On Mondays there’s a Quiz night that we enjoyed a lot. I really hope to come back!

Very good Luton pub. Six cask beers on handpump when I visited including a porter. Loads of outdoor seating some of it covered. Busy but not impossibly so after the Spurs game at Kenilworth Road.

An unpretentious proper pub with excellent well kept cask ales, what a delight. Small two room pub, visited on a Monday night and they read a lively pub quiz in the front bar and footie on the telly in the back room. Friendly place.

Although they don’t serve food, they do have pub snacks, which are good. Super friendly bar team, who are super welcoming. Plenty of space, inside & out. Beautifully clean, across all areas, from bar, to seating (indoor & outdoor) & lovely clean toilets (some bars could take a lesson from these folks)
