Tin Town is a small suburb of north-east Luton, in Bedfordshire, England.

After the Second World War, there was a severe shortage of accommodation and new building materials were employed in order to save both time and money.

The majority were BISF Houses, which used sheetmetal for the upper parts of the construction, hence the local name for the area becoming ‘Tin Town’.

Most of these houses still stand today, although in recent years the local council (or private owners) of these houses have covered the original metal with cladding, and only a few of these properties still show the original characteristic painted metal.

[2] The ward forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Luton South and the MP is Rachel Hopkins (Labour).
