    Ok after a bit of local info from anyone who might live in Bedford. Looking to move inthe next few months from Wolverhampton to Bedford. If anyone lives in the area can you tell me of places I should and shouldn't be looking at? I need to be as close to Bedford Station (not St Johns). Also any pubs that are good to go for a drink, doesn't have to be a biker pub, my other half isn't one and doesn't understand the need for a bike. Thanks
