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

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. April trips into Luton should be planned around a possible line closure.

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.
