Round Green

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 1900 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.

The Luton Co-Operative Club is based on Stockingstone Road and is a member's club featuring a bar and sports facilities.[3]

There are relatively few parks and open spaces in the Round Green area due to the proximity of People's Park in High Town and other large spaces in the Crawley area. There is a small children's play area situated between Abbots Wood Road and Hart Lane which also serves as the largest green space as well as a wooded area at the northernmost point of Hitchin Road.

The Hitchin Road roundabout is home to the only trading pub in the area, The Jolly Topers, which has stood on the junction since the 18th century.[4] The Jolly Topers has long been a central core of the Round Green community and has been the site of many inquests in the early years of the business.[5] Historically, a large horse-chestnut tree stood next to the roundabout outside the Jolly Topers pub; it had presided over the area for 150 years. However, in 2001, after heavy winds blew down its branches, it was deemed hazardous to leave standing. The tree was taken down and has recently been replaced.

Roughly 20 meters away on the other side of the roundabout was the site of The Round Green Tavern which closed in the late 2010s and has since been repurposed as an estate agents office and residential properties. Meters away from the Round Green Tavern was the site of the Royal Oak pub which closed in the late 2000s and is now a veterinarian clinic.[6]

The Somerset Tavern on the corner of Somerset Avenue and Crawley Green Road was another large pub in the area which has also closed, being renovated into residential flats in the late 2000s.

Both St. Anne's Church and St. Christopher's Church unusually share equal standing within the Parish of St. Annes, which is within the Diocese of St Albans.

• St. Anne's Church, Hart Lane[7]
• St. Christopher's Church, Felix Avenue[8] - the church also operates as the Romanian Orthodox church for the area.[9]

• A methodist chapel was situated on the junction of Ramridge Road and Hitchin Road opposite the Jolly Topers public house until at least 1901. The building was on the site of the Round Green Tavern which ceased business in the late 2010s.[10]
• Two more Methodist chapels existed on a site in Turners Road South. The first existed between 1911 and 1957 before a more modern chapel building emerged in 1959, connected to the 1911 building. The church as a whole was closed in 1997 and the modern chapel building was demolished shortly after. The 1911 structure still stands to this day and was most recently used as a nursery.[11]
