Luton, with 170,000 people this is the county's major town and industrial centre with a newish university.. All major facilities can be found here, with the main shopping centre around George Street and the Arndale Centre. As a result of these shopping developments a lot of Luton's old buildings were lost.
Entertainment facilities include a theatre, The Library Theatre, cinema and a bowling alley as well as the Artezium, an arts and media centre.
Despite these developments there are still places in and around the town worth a visit.
Tourist Information Centre is at the Bus Station in Bute Street, and also at the airport.
