The club caught the eye of the Monopoly bosses, after going from a non-league side to England’s top flight of football in less than 10 years. To celebrate this achievement and raise the profile of the town further, the Luton version of the classic board game will hit shelves in spring 2024.
The board will have Luton landmarks – like Kenilworth Road stadium, Luton Airport and Luton Hoo.
So we asked what you wanted to see on the board – showing off the best Luton has to offer. Now that suggestion submissions have closed, scroll down to see what you suggested.
The cultural and arts centre of the town opened nearly 20 years ago and is bursting with live music, films, dance, theatre shows and workshops. The factory also signifies Luton's millinery past with the town known for its huge hat industry. A proud tradition that deserves some recognition, right? Photo: Tony Margiocchi
Whether you love it for the river, boating lake or the formal gardens - Wardown Park is most definitely the jewel in the crown of Luton's parks. Located between Old Bedford Road and the A6, New Bedford Road, the glorious park is within walking distance of the town centre. Residents flock to it during the summer months and still enjoy a stroll around the park in the middle of winter. Photo: Tony Margiocchi
While the museum is inside the park, our readers thought it deserved its own square on the board. The museum is free (which is a huge bonus) and tells the tale of Luton through the ages. The house itself was mostly rebuilt in the 1870s when builders added to a previous residence dating back to the early 1800s. In 1904, the council bought it and the museum was opened in 1930.

The university campus in the heart of the town had a few mentions for the board. It was originally the University of Luton when it received university status in 1993, then changed names after a merger with the Bedford campus of De Montfort University. The campus is always full of lecturers and students which makes a nice atmosphere in the town centre. Maybe lots of the alumni want to have their alma mater immortalised?
