Bedfordshire town 30 minutes north of London by rail (St Pancras direct) — anchored by Luton Airport (UK's fifth-busiest, low-cost-carrier hub) and a 19th-century hat-industry heritage. The Town Centre is the small walkable commercial core. UK has no DNV; Skilled Worker / Global Talent. Genuine value play — rents are 50-60% under central London with the same direct rail access, but Luton lacks tier-1 cultural amenities and has been working through demographic and economic challenges since the Vauxhall plant closed in 2002.
