    I was born in Leamington. Lived on Portland Place near the Regal Cinema and Bandstand for the first 2 years of my life, then moved to Woodloes, Warwick. Warwick is literally connected to Leamington and is beautiful as well, more historic, whereas Leamington is more classy. Absolutely love Leamington and Warwick. Moved to London when I was 23 and now settled in West London but Leamington will always be home for me, miss it. Spent so many of my formative years there. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻

      Hi , back in the 1480s Leamington was a village and a natural spring of saline water was found , this water was found to be theraputic and people would come to drink and bathe in the water. The Royal Pump Rooms was built for this purpose as the town grew.
