Luton
Luton este un oras din nordul Londrei, la distanta de 51 de km de capitala Marii Britanii, cu alte cuvinte la mai putin de o ora cu masina de aceasta. Este un oras multicultural, cunoscut la nivel national dar si international pentru industria palariilor ce este inca dezvoltata aici, echipa de fotbal fiid numita ” The Hatters”. Inainte, acesta era faimos pentru productia de bere Whitbread si pentru masinile Vauxhall. Astazi, orasul este cunoscut pentru London Luton Airport, aeroportul principal al companiei aeriene low cost Easyjet, una dintre cele mai ieftine si cele mai cunoscute din lume.

Stockwood Discovery Center
The Stables Museum at Stockwood Park is surrounded by a medieval garden, the Elizabethan knot garden and a Victory Ditch garden, recreating the vegetable plots of the Second World War. The Discovery Galleries are dedicated to local history and have Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval artefacts, as well as a collection of arts and crafts gathered from Bedfordshire villages from the 1930s to the 1950s.
Wardown Park Museum
The Victorian mansion in Wardown Park houses Luton's town museum, focusing on local archeology and Bedfordshire traditional knowledge. Downstairs you can examine an Iron Age mirror and Shillington's World Coin Hoard, made up of 130 mostly gold coins struck during the reigns of seven different Roman emperors. The old Bedfordshire trades of hatting and lace are well represented, with examples of lace dating back to the 1600s. But if there's one exhibition you must see it's the one at Wenlock, one of only three medieval bronze mugs that they have survived in England, dating back to the 1400s.
