Leamington Spa is the name of a town in central Warwickshire, England - about 20 minutes from campus.
Leamington was once hailed as a city of healing waters aka spa waters and a favorite spa resort town of the elite. Leamington earned the "Royal" title after a visit from Queen Victoria. The statue was almost destroyed by bomb during, and you can still see that it was actually moved off its base by an inch. The town also has a rather large and beautiful English garden called Jephson Gardens.
These days it is a city of some pretty decent shopping - I spotted a pair of essential winter boots already!
