Kingsbrook

MK40 3 / MK42 0 / MK42 9 / MK44 3

Kingsbrook is on the south side of Bedford, mostly residential with a mixture of post-war and more modern housing. It is a practical, no-frills part of town. There is a business park nearby which provides some local employment. The area does not have a strong identity or a local centre to speak of, and most people drive to the town centre or retail parks for shopping. It is one of the more affordable options in Bedford.
