On a map of 1888 Round Green is shown as a separate village to the northeast of Luton yet lying within the Luton municipal boundary. At that time it had a Wesleyan Chapel and two public houses one of which was the Royal Oak which is still a pub today. The history of the area dates back to at least 1170.

The Royal Oak

The Royal Oak in Hitchin Road, Round Green, is alleged to be haunted but no further details are available. The pub is now closed (September 2010) and boarded up.
