CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Royal Leamington Spa, commonly known as Leamington Spa or simply Leamington[note 1] (/?l?m??t?n/ ?), is a spa town and civil parish in Warwickshire, England. Originally a small village called Leamington Priors, it grew into a spa town in the 18th century following the popularisation of its water which was reputed to have medicinal qualities.[2] In the 19th century, the town experienced one of the most rapid expansions in England.[3] It is named after the River Leam, which flows through the town. The town contains especially fine examples of Regency architecture,[4] particularly in parts of the Parade, Clarendon Square and Lansdowne Circus. The town also contains several large public parks, such as Jephson Gardens, the Royal Pump Room Gardens and Victoria Park. Although originally founded around its spa industry, Leamington today has developed into a centre for retail, and digital industries, which has gained it the moniker "silicon spa". In 2023 The Sunday Times named Leamington as the best place to live in the Midlands.[5][6] In the 2021 census Leamington had a population of 50,923.[1] Leamington is adjoined with the neighbouring towns of Warwick and Whitnash, and the village of Cubbington; together these form a conurbation known as the "Royal Leamington Spa Built-up area" which in 2011 had a population of 95,172.[7] Leamington lies around 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of the county town of Warwick, 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south of Coventry, 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Birmingham, and 81 miles (130 km) northwest of London.
