Universal Studios United Kingdom is a planned 476-acre theme park and resort to be located in the town of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England.[1]
Development history[]
Announced on December 19, 2023, it is the first Universal Studios Resort in the United Kingdom, and Universal's third attempt at a European resort. Located approximately 45 minutes north of London[1], the planned site is 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". Universal has yet to proceed with the project, however, construction could potentially start as early as January 2025, with an opening expected around 2030.[2]
