Bedford is a lively, dynamic place to live and work. The town is a former market town, and enjoys some fine historic buildings dating back many centuries.

There are many idyllic villages outside of the town itself.
Bedford is only 40 minutes from London St Pancras by train, and benefits from a 24 hour train line both to and from London. The town is around 30 minutes’ drive from London Luton airport, and is also on the train line to London Gatwick south of London. Cambridge is one hour away by car and Milton Keynes is around 30 minutes, whilst Birmingham, Nottingham, Oxford and the Cotswolds are easy day trips.
At Bedford Modern School there is a wide and varied curriculum that is responsive to the needs of students and parents. The facilities are excellent: a separate Junior School, dedicated Sixth Form building, faculties clustered throughout the School and extensive and impressive sports facilities.
