Stopsley is a ward (politics) in the north-east of Luton. Originally a hill-top village settlement, most of the urbanised part of the civil parish of Stopsley became part of Luton when the boundaries were extended in 1933, with the rural areas going to Hyde and Streatley.
The centre of Stopsley is dominated by Jansel House, an office block built in 1961 which houses the Luton VAT office over a parade of shops at street level.
