Luton Borough Corporation had provided the borough with electricity since the early twentieth century from Luton power station, located adjacent to the railway.

Electricity connections to the national grid rendered the 23 megawatt (MW) coal and latterly oil-fired power station redundant. The station had a single chimney and two reinforced concrete cooling towers. [38] The power station closed in 1968; in its final year of operation it delivered 3,192 MWh of electricity to the borough. [39] Luton is one of the main locations of the University of Bedfordshire.

Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, due to the absence of the areas required for its evolution in either of the regions the games are set in.

The main shopping area in Luton is centred on the Mall Luton. Built in the 1960s/1970s and opened as an Arndale Centre, [98] construction of the shopping centre led to the demolition of a number of the older buildings in the town centre, including the Plait Halls (a Victorian covered market building with an iron and glass roof). Shops and businesses in the remaining streets, particularly in the roads around Cheapside and in High Town, have been in decline ever since. George Street, on the south side of the Arndale, was pedestrianised in the 1990s. There are few routes through the hilly area for some miles, this has led to several major roads (including the M1 and the A6) and a major rail-link being constructed through the town. The source of the River Lea, part of the Thames Valley drainage basin, is in the Leagrave area of the town. The Great Bramingham Wood surrounds this area.
