Pubs close to railway stations frequently attract names with a railway theme.
The Great Northern Railway (GNR) was established by the Great Northern Railway Act of 1846 with the aim of constructing a line joining London and York. However, there was also a branch of the GNR that ran through Luton.
This particular pub would have probably started life as a large hotel on the corner of Bute Street and Guildford Street. It has now shrunk somewhat and is simply a bar.
