Royal Leamington Spa, originally a serene village called Leamington Priors, flourished into a popular spa town in the 18th Century with the discovery of medicinal qualities in its waters. The commercialisation of these waters following the opening of the Royal Pump Rooms and Baths in 1814 drew both the wealthy and the famous, resulting in the town's rapid expansion. Nestled along the tranquil River Leam, which lends the town its name, Leamington quickly became one of England's fastest-growing towns during the 19th Century.

Leamington's character is unmistakable — Regency-style architecture is on display all through the Parade, Clarendon Square, and Lansdowne Circus. Take a leisurely stroll and you'll find yourself amidst sprawling public parks such as the Jephson Gardens, Royal Pump Room Gardens, and Victoria Park. Despite its foundation around the spa industry, Leamington has evolved over the years— shifting its focus from tourism to becoming a favourite residence for retirees and the middle class and gaining prominence in the digital and retail industries. This cultural melting pot blends modernity with tradition, earning it the title of the best place to live in the Midlands by The Sunday Times in 2023.
