Description:
The Premier Inn Luton South M1 J9 is situated in the countryside village of Flamstead, just
off junction 9 of the M1 motorway and within easy access of both
London and Luton. Flamstead is a historic village that can trace
its origins back to 1006 and has a pub, The Three Blackbirds, that dates back to
the 1500's. Perhaps best known in modern times for the annual Scarecrow Festival
held here annually in summer since 2001. Nearby places of interest include the
Animal Farm & Leisure Park (2.7 miles), Stockwood Craft Museum and Gardens (3.3
miles), Whipsnade Safari park (5.6 miles) and the Verulamium Museum featuring

which is a covered mall is 4 miles from here.
The hotel is within 2.7
miles of Luton and 4.7 miles from Dunstable (4.7 miles) and is south of both. Indeed its old
name of Luton Hemel described it well as it is between Luton and Hemel
Hempstead (2.8 miles).

This has become normal practice with this hotel chain as they strive to have all
their hotel s names after their precise location. In this case the hotel is
close to the M1 motorway at its junction (exit) 9.
