Royal Leamington Spa: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Royal Leamington Spa, commonly known as Leamington Spa, is a historic spa town in Warwickshire, England. The town gained prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries when its natural mineral springs were discovered, leading to its development as a popular spa resort. The town's Georgian and Victorian architecture, particularly along the Parade and surrounding streets, reflects its prosperous past as a fashionable health resort. The 'Royal' prefix was bestowed by Queen Victoria in 1838 in recognition of the town's growing reputation.

Today, Leamington Spa combines its historic heritage with a vibrant cultural scene, featuring art galleries, museums, and cultural venues. The Royal Pump Rooms, once the most famous spa building in Leamington, now houses the town's main cultural center, including an art gallery and museum. The town's Jephson Gardens, a Victorian pleasure garden, provides a beautiful setting for outdoor cultural events and houses a glasshouse with tropical plants.
