Getting there

  • Luton station — 20 minutes' walk to the ground through residential streets, or a short taxi.
  • Bus from the station — Local services run towards Kenilworth Road, useful in poor weather.
  • Driving — M1 J10, then follow signs; the ground is famously tucked among terraced housing with minimal parking.

Safe away spots

  • The Painter's Arms — Popular pub near the ground, one of the few options right by the turnstiles. Map
  • Luton town centre chains — Wide range near the Mall and station for those arriving early. Map
  • Kenilworth Road concourse — Basic but functional, in keeping with the ground's old-school charm. Map

Transport alert

Early televised kick-off

A 12:30 start usually means leaving before the first fast train of the day — pubs near the ground may not open until 11:00.

Ground note

Kenilworth Road is famously squeezed into a residential street — the away turnstiles are reached through a narrow terraced alley.

Ground note

Parking near the ground is almost impossible; plan to walk or take a bus.
