Luton is a town in Bedfordshire, south-east England, located approximately 30 miles north of London. Traditionally a small market town and a centre for the manufacture of straw hats (the local football team, Luton Town FC, is nicknamed 'The Hatters'), Luton expanded rapidly between the two world wars, becoming a centre for light engineering and, more significantly, the manufacture of motor vehicles.
