About

Leagrave ward occupies the northern section of Luton, bordered by open countryside to the west and north. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from inter-war semis to modern estates. The River Lea, from which Luton derives its name, has its source within the ward's boundaries at a site known as Leagrave Marsh.

The landscape is defined by the presence of the Chiltern Hills, with the ancient Icknield Way path tracing its edge. A significant local feature is the large Marsh Farm estate, providing extensive community housing. Transport links are central, with the M1 motorway skirting the eastern side and a mainline railway station offering direct connections to London.
