Getting to the Luton & Dunstable Hospital
There are several methods of getting to the Luton & Dunstable Hospital, which is located on the border between the towns of Luton & Dunstable in Bedfordshire. Whilst the hospital is sited close to Junction 11 on the M1, we would advise visitors that car parking at the hospital is limited (particularly Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am and 4pm when the hospital is running outpatient clinics). We would therefore urge anyone who intends to come to the hospital to consider using public transport wherever possible.

The Arriva Bus Company and Centre Bus Company both have routes which service the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
For Arriva these routes are the:- 8 24/25 (off peak) 31 and 38.
For Centre Bus there is a single route, the:- X31.
BY TRAIN:
The nearest station is Leagrave, on the Thameslink line, north of Luton station. It is a mile from there to the hospital. Luton's main station is three miles away from the hospital. A taxi fare costs about £7. Arriva bus services 31A and 61 run between the station and the hospital.
