Kenilworth Road Transfers – Fixed Price Quote, Book Online 24/7
Luton's ground is embedded so completely in Victorian terraced streets that the away entrance is reached through a gap between two houses, up a staircase that passes over back gardens. There is nothing else like it in English professional football, and it tells you everything about the site.
Anywhere. Kenilworth Road is a ground that predates almost everything around it and has been built around ever since. Twelve thousand people arrive and leave through residential streets that were laid out for horses.
Four things you will not find at any other ground
Kenilworth Road is an oddity, and most visiting supporters are glad to have seen it.
Between two houses
A staircase running up from the street, over back gardens, into the away end. There is no other example of it.
Victorian terraces on all sides
Narrow, residential, and comprehensively controlled on matchdays.
Around 12,000
One of the smallest grounds to host top-flight football in the modern era.
A new ground is planned
Luton have long intended to move to a new site. Arrangements may change; we confirm for your date.

A Luton away day
Go for the experience, not the comfort
Kenilworth Road is small, old and awkward, and most visiting supporters come away pleased to have been. The away entrance through the terrace is genuinely unlike anything else in the country, the ground is tight enough that the atmosphere is excellent, and it is a piece of football history that will not exist indefinitely. If your group is going, treat it as a trip worth making rather than a fixture to get through.
The streets have no room whatsoever
Every road around the ground is a Victorian terrace with matchday controls that are enforced comprehensively. There is no clever spot, no space to wait and no scope for a vehicle to hold anywhere near the turnstiles. We set down well back and collect towards the town centre, which is a walk of ten to fifteen minutes and the only realistic arrangement.
The town centre is where the space is
Luton's centre is about fifteen minutes from the ground and has the pubs, the food and the roads that can actually take a vehicle. Most of our Luton bookings include an earlier drop there, which costs nothing extra and gives the group somewhere to be before kick-off other than a narrow terraced street.
Arrangements may change
Luton have long planned a move to a new ground on a different site. Whether and when that happens affects everything on this page, so we confirm the current arrangements for your specific fixture rather than assuming. Worth checking your ticket too.
Kenilworth Road questions
A ground unlike any other.
Is the away entrance really between houses?
Yes. A staircase runs up from the street, over back gardens, into the away end. There is no other example of it in English professional football and it is the thing every visiting supporter mentions.
Can a car get near the ground?
No. Every surrounding street is a Victorian terrace with matchday parking controls enforced across a wide area. We set down well back and collect towards the town centre.
How far is it from Kent?
Around fifty-five to ninety-five miles depending on where you start, which is an hour and a half to two and three quarter hours. M25 anticlockwise then the M1, with no London driving.
Where do you collect afterwards?
Towards Luton town centre, ten to fifteen minutes' walk, on wider roads where a vehicle can legally wait and pull away.
Where can we go before the match?
The town centre, about fifteen minutes from the ground, which has the pubs and the food. An earlier drop there costs nothing extra.
Are Luton moving to a new ground?
They have long planned to. Whether it has happened by your fixture affects everything on this page, so we confirm current arrangements for your date and it is worth checking your ticket.
Is it worth going?
Most visiting supporters think so. It is small, old, loud and genuinely unique, and it will not exist indefinitely in this form.
Is the fare fixed?
Yes, agreed at booking and unaffected by motorway traffic or added time.
