About

Wigmore sits in north Luton next to London Luton Airport. The area is mainly residential with terraces and semi-detached housing, a primary school, a community centre and a parade of shops serving local needs. Bus routes run along the main roads, providing links to Luton town centre and to Luton Airport Parkway station. Many households have direct ties to airport employment, ground handling and logistics, which affect local services and schedules.

The airport occupies the western edge of the area; its terminal, car parks and service yards are visible from nearby streets and shape traffic patterns. The Luton DART, an automated people mover, links Luton Airport Parkway with the terminal in about four minutes and has changed how passengers approach the airport. Surrounding land contains hotels, vehicle hire centres and cargo facilities that form a local employment base. The proximity of homes and airport operations makes planning and noise management regular topics for residents and the council.
