Universal Studios United Kingdom is a planned 700-acre theme park and resort to be located in the town of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. [1] [2] Announced on 19 December 2023, It is the first Universal Studios Resort in the United Kingdom, and Universal's third attempt at a European resort, [a] and is to be located approximately 45 minutes north of London. [2] The planned site is to be located on a plot of land mostly within the A421 road, B530 road, and Broadmead road, with Manor road cutting through it. The planned site is split into four "zones": the "Core Zone" is where the theme park and hotel(s) are to be located, the adjacent "Lake Zone" located north of the "Core Zone" is intended for mixed-use purposes (likely a Universal CityWalk), and two transportation hubs dubbed the "East Gateway Zone" and the "West Gateway Zone" [5] Universal has yet to proceed with the project, however construction could potentially start as early as January 2025, with an opening expected around 2030.
