Local area
The area is mainly residential, with a few scattered shops along Hart Lane and Abbots Wood Road. The area is served by St. Anne's Church on Crawley Green Road, which also gives its name to the area around it, St. Anne's Hill, an undefined area that overlaps parts of Hart Hill and Crawley Green.
The south of Hart Hill became established in the 19th century, including Hart Hill Drive, a private road of houses overlooking the town.[2] However, most of the northern part of Hart Hill consists of post war estate housing.
There is a Grade II-listed water tower on Hart Lane which is one of the most prominent points on Luton's skyline if looking eastwards from the centre. The building was erected in 1901 following a drought that affected the Stopsley area and is a counterpart to a similarly aged water town on West Hill Road in New Town.
Also in the area are Hart Hill Nursery School and Hart Hill adventure play area.
Politics
Hart Hill is split between the Round Green, Crawley, and High Town wards. The wards forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Luton South, and the MP is Gavin Shuker (Labour). Hart Hill is situated within the East of England (European Parliament constituency).
