Bury Park, Luton — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Bury Park stands a mile out from Luton's town centre in Bedfordshire, on the A505 toward Dunstable and hemmed by the Midland Main Line.
About Bury Park
Where to stay in Bury Park
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
A mile separates it from the centre. Bury Park sits on the A505 with Hatters Way and Telford Way framing it, which suits drivers better than it suits anyone hoping to step straight out of a hotel door into the shops of Luton. Claremont Road marks the far edge.
Rooms cluster nearer the town centre and the Midland Main Line, so a stay here is a decision about roads rather than about platforms.
About Bury Park

That density of chapel and parish building is the clearest thing the register says about Bury Park, and it is what a walk through the area actually shows.
What is the history of Bury Park?
The castle name survives on the record. Luton Castle is listed among the entries attached to Bury Park, and the churches that follow it, Christ Church, All Saints' Church, the Baptist Union Church, mark the layers of worship the area gathered as Luton spread along the A505 toward Dunstable.

The Midland Main Line and Hatters Way drew the modern boundaries, and Claremont Road, Highfield Road and Telford Way closed the rest.
