It all started with a mythical beast - the emblem of a griffin, which is visible throughout Luton. The creature of folklore was adopted as a logo by Vauxhall Motors. Scottish Engineer Alexander Wilson, who founded the company in Vauxhall, South London in 1857, took the name for his new business venture, bringing the griffin emblem back to its ancestral home of Luton and strengthening its long-standing link with London. Luton is in an unrivalled position, located just 23 minutes by train and 30 miles drive to London. Luton’s combination of superb infrastructure, great transport access and an increasing skilled workforce makes it one of the UK’s best opportunities for business, investment and the property market. It also ranks 4th in the Top 10 Greenest Index, which focuses on UK towns and cities for environment and sustainability performance. Located in the South East, Luton is surrounded by the Chilterns, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Luton offers the best of both worlds - a modern town with excellent business opportunities and accommodation with a superb countryside on its doorstep, making it a wonderful place to live and work. With a population of about 216,000 people, Luton has a very rich cultural heritage and diverse community and located within the famous ‘Golden Triangle’ of Cambridge, Oxford and London, encompassing Europe’s top universities. Luton boasts of top of the class amenities, most of which are within a short distance from LU20N. These include popular schools such as the internationally recognised University of Bedfordshire and a host of outstanding primary and secondary schools. There are innumerable attractive parks, open spaces, shopping and recreation centres including golf courses, the popular Luton Cultural Quarter and Luton Shopping Centre, which are going through major improvements. Properties in Luton outperform neighbouring towns and commuter towns with similar journey times to London, in terms of value for money, capital growth and investment returns.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.
