Putteridge is a suburb at the north-eastern edge of Luton, in Bedfordshire, England. Putteridge is a little over 2 miles (3.2 km) from Luton town centre and bordered by Central Bedfordshire district to the north and North Hertfordshire district to the east. Wigmore Lane and Hayling Drive form the southern boundary and Cannon Lane and Stapleford Road the western.

Local area

Many of Putteridge's houses were built in the 1930s by Janes Builders of Luton. The area is home to one of Luton's cemeteries, The Vale. The University of Bedfordshire's Putteridge Bury Campus is just over the border in Hertfordshire.

The area is surrounded by green space including Butterfield Green, a new industrial development currently being built. This is hoped to help boost the local economy of the area and Luton as a whole. [1]

Putteridge Primary School and Putteridge High School serve the local areas including Stopsley, Round Green and Wigmore.
