Harlington sits in a pocket of Bedfordshire countryside between the northern edge of the Chiltern Foothills and the industrial hub of Luton. Life in the village tends to revolve around the green near the 12th-century St Mary’s Church and the two local pubs, the Old Sun and the Carpenter’s Arms. Historically, the village is noted for its connection to the preacher John Bunyan, who was famously arrested in a nearby cottage in 1660. Geographically, it is defined by its position on the Thameslink line, with a station that provides a direct link to London St Pancras and Bedford, making it a functional base for those working further afield. Despite its proximity to the M1 and the larger town of Dunstable, it feels relatively self-contained, supported by its own primary and lower schools and a network of footpaths that lead out towards the scenic views of Sharpenhoe Clappers.
