About Royal Leamington Spa

Leamington Spa, formerly known as Leamington Priors, transformed from a small village into a bustling town by the early 1800s. Although the healing properties of its mineral springs were known in the Middle Ages, it wasn’t until 1784 that the village began harnessing these springs, constructing baths around them.

By the turn of the 19th century, the town’s bathhouses struggled to accommodate the growing influx of visitors. Plans emerged to create a grand bathing facility, prompting the formation of a syndicate to fund the project. The initial plan involved developing land on the west side of the Parade, marking the beginning of what would become the 'new town.' In 1810, a spring was discovered on land owned by Mr. Greatheed, a member of the syndicate, just north of the river and close to the old town.

Today, Royal Leamington Spa, with its elegant boulevards, impressive architecture, and award-winning parks, offers a sophisticated setting. The town boasts a mix of independent boutiques, well-known high street brands, and diverse dining options. As of 2021, its population stood at 50,923. Located in Warwickshire, central England, it is the county’s third-largest settlement, following Nuneaton and Rugby. The town is celebrated for its rich history, beautiful parks, and the scenic River Leam that flows through its heart.

Notable parks include Foundry Wood, Jephson Gardens, Mill Gardens, Newbold Comyn, Pump Room Gardens, and Victoria Park. For educational opportunities, students can choose from Warwickshire College, University of Warwick, Arden University, and University College Birmingham.
