The Royal Pump Rooms is a Grade II listed building on
the Parade in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire,
England. It was the most famous of several spa baths
opened in Leamington between the late-18th and
mid-19th centuries. People would travel from
throughout the country, and indeed Europe, to
benefit from treatments using the town's healing
waters. When 'taking the waters' became less
fashionable after the mid-19th century the Pump
Rooms became Leamington's only surviving spa
facility, later also being extended to include the
town's public swimming pool. After a major
redevelopment in 1997-99 the building now houses
Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum, a public
library, a Tourist Information Centre, cafe and
assembly rooms.

The Royal Pump Room Gardens is a popular open
space found in the centre of Leamington Spa,
Warwickshire, England, next to the Royal Pump
Rooms and just north of the River Leam. Despite
being named "gardens" there is only one 5.4-acre
(22,000 m2) area divided by footpaths with an
ironwork bandstand in the centre.
Opened in 1814 with the Pump Rooms themselves,
to begin with the gardens were only for the use of
patrons of the Pump Rooms "to afford them
pleasant promenades." The original bandstand was
later erected and bands played in the afternoon and
evening during the summer (and other public
holidays) for those paying to use the baths. During
these early days the famed tightrope walker Charles
Blondin crossed the area in July 1851. However in
1875 the gardens were opened to the public. In 1881
plans were made to build the town hall on the
gardens but at the last minute a change of site was
agreed and it was built further north near The
Regent Hotel. In 1893 a pedestrian bridge called York
Bridge was built over the river. The second
bandstand was designed by Walter MacFarlane & Co
and founded in Glasgow. It was installed in 1896. Also
the only remaining examples of the original
Leamington cast iron gas lamps can be found
alongside the south side of the gardens.
The gardens originally contained decorative flower
beds but with the decline in fortunes of the Pump
Rooms themselves these have been grassed over.
Bands still play in the bandstand, although very
infrequently but the gardens host the annual
Leamington Peace Festival, a fun fair once a year and
farmers markets once a month. It is also a popular
place for young people, especially those from the
nearby Warwick University to sunbathe and play
football. As it lies so close to the river it is part of the
town that is most frequently flooded. The last two
times such floods occurred were at Easter 1998 and
in the summer of 2007.
In March 2012 new lights in iron arches (commonly
known as the Linden Arches) were erected along the
pathway furthest from the river. They were officially
unveiled by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. This
is the first major alteration to the park's superficial
appearance since 1896. This was followed later in the
decade when the bandstand was removed in autumn 2018 and returned re-furbished and painted
different colors in spring 2019. The paths were
slightly re-routed and totally re-paved and a new
seating area with rock features and a small pond was
constructed at the western end of the gardens. The
£1.4 million project also included new railings and
new trees being planted.

Warwick Castle is a medieval castle developed from
a wooden fort, originally built by William the
Conqueror during 1068. Warwick is the county town
of Warwickshire, England, situated on a bend of the
River Avon. The original wooden motte-and-bailey
castle was rebuilt in stone during the 12th century.
During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite
the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most
recognisable examples of 14th-century military
architecture. It was used as a stronghold until the
early 17th century, when it was granted to Sir Fulke
Greville by James I in 1604. Greville converted it to a
country house and it was owned by the Greville
family, who became Earls of Warwick in 1759, until
1978 when it was bought by the Tussauds Group.
In 2007, the Tussauds Group was purchased by The
Blackstone Group which merged it with Merlin
Entertainments; Warwick Castle was then sold to
Nick Leslau's investment firm Prestbury Group under
a sale and leaseback agreement. Merlin continues to
operate the site under a renewable 35-year lease.

Victoria Park, Leamington Spa
Victoria Park is a public park in Leamington Spa,
Warwickshire, England. It is situated about half a mile
(800 m) west of the town centre and is on the south
bank of the River Leam. The total area of the park as
it stands today is 18.5 acres (7.5 ha).
Up until the 1830s the park was just part of farmland
on the edge of the growing spa town. It was at that
time that one of the local land owning families, the
Willes, began to hold archery competitions on the
land. In the middle of the nineteenth century
Leamington Cricket club made their first home there
and in the 1860s the New Riverside Walk was
opened. The park was extensively landscaped and
redesigned in 1899 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee
of Queen Victoria. Before the Royal Show moved to
Stoneleigh Park one of its venues was Victoria Park.
The bowling greens are amongst the best in
England, hosting the English Men's and Women's
Bowling Championships annually as well as the
Women's World Bowling Championships in 1996 and
2004. The bowling greens will host the lawn bowls
event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Most of
Leamington's municipal tennis courts are located in
the park (more are located at the top of The Parade)
as well as extensive children's play areas, a skate
park and a cafe. The park was chosen to host the
2007 European Race Walking Cup.
