Next out of London: collect WED 14 OCT, deliver WED 14 OCT · collect WED 21 OCT, deliver WED 21 OCT.
Covering: Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Leighton Buzzard, Toddington and the rest of the LU postcode area.
The local landmark: The chalk escarpment of Dunstable Downs, with Whipsnade Zoo spread across its slopes, rises on the area's western edge.
Students: The University of Bedfordshire's main campus is in Luton town centre.
On the ground: Tight Victorian terraces built for the hat trade fill central Luton, with interwar semis and growing new estates across Dunstable and Houghton Regis. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Families priced out of north London follow the Thameslink line here, and students arrive for the Bedfordshire campus.
While you wait for the van: Luton once made most of Britain's hats, which is why Luton Town are nicknamed the Hatters.
