About Royal Leamington Spa - show infohide info
Royal Leamington Spa, often referred to as simply Leamington, is a town of 45,114 (2001 census) inhabitants. The town is in the county of Warwickshire. Leamington's name comes from the River Leam, which runs through the town. Leamington was a small village, and would have remained so were it not for the re-discovery of the healing properties of the spa water. The first spring was discovered in Leamington in 1784, and this started the development of the town. The Royal Pump Rooms were opened in 1814, and attracted many visitors, hoping the salty spa water would cure aches and pains. The Pump rooms functions have changed over the years. In the years between WWII and 1996, it functioned as a medical centre. Now it is a cultural and heritage centre, with a museum, library, art gallery, cafe and tourist information centre. Leamington gained its 'Royal' prefix in 1838, following a visit by Queen Victoria. The town is noted for its parks and gardens, particularly the Jephson Gardens, close to the Royal Pump Rooms and next to the River Leam. The central part of the town is the Parade, a street which hosts Royal Priors shopping centre and a wide range of high street chains. Many of the towns popualtion commute to the nearby cities of Coventry and Birmingham. The towns rail station is served by trains to Birmingham and London by Chiltern Trains, as well as less frequent services to Glasgow and the South Coast by Virgin Trains. Nearby settlements include Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Southam, Wellesbourne, Rugby and Coventry.
