This attractive town boasts a handsome mixture of smart shops and Regency buildings. The Parade is undoubtedly one of the finest streets in Warwickshire. At the start of the 19th century very few people knew of the existence of Leamington, but by 1838 all this had changed. By this time the famous waters were cascading expensively over the many "patients" and the increasingly fashionable spa was given the title "Royal" by permission of the new Queen, Victoria.

The Pump Rooms were opened in 1814 by Henry Jephson, a local doctor who was largely responsible for promoting the Spa's medicinal properties. Immediately opposite the Spa itself are Jephson's Gardens containing a Corinthian temple, which houses a statue of him. The town' s supply of saline water is vast and a wide range of "cures" is available even today.

The Art Gallery and Museum in Avenue Road has a lovely collection of pottery, ceramics and glass as well as some excellent British and Dutch paintings from the 16th century to the present.
