High Town is an inner neighbourhood of Luton in Bedfordshire, England, sitting just north of the town centre. It is a compact, largely residential area of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing interspersed with former light‑industrial premises that reflect Luton's historic manufacturing and hat‑making economy. The ward benefits from close links to the town's transport routes and a short distance to central amenities.
Today High Town has a lively, diverse community with an eclectic mix of independent shops, cafés and small workshops along the local high street, plus active neighbourhood groups and community projects. The area combines pockets of historic character with ongoing regeneration efforts, making it notable for grassroots cultural activity and a neighbourhood feel within the larger urban setting of Luton.
