Kempston has always been proud of its independent sense of community and character. Many of its residents talk about “the village” with affection and others who live in the “new town”, speak of it with warmth.

It is a good place to live having a wide range of housing available, with a variety of shops both large and small and a recently developed Interchange Park close by.

There are several schools: Lower, Middle and Upper Schools to choose from all within walking distance.

Kempston has several leisure facilities with riverside walks, parks, play areas, a library, a teenage recreation centre, an indoor swimming pool and outdoor and indoor bowling greens. Other facilities only a short distance away, include a 10screen cinema, museums, an art gallery, a countryside park, a canoe slalom, a butterfly farm, a children’s farm, theatres, a sports centre, 3 golf courses and a leisure pool.

Kempston has opportunity for employment and is also ideally placed for a wider work base being within easy access to Bedford, the A1, the M1, Milton Keynes, Cambridge and Luton.
