Encyclopedia: Leamington Spa

Leamington Spa, properly Royal Leamington Spa but commonly just Leamington, (pronounced Lemmington — IPA: [ˈlɛmɪŋtən]) is a spa town in central Warwickshire, in England. According to the 2001 census the town had a population of 45,114. It is named after the River Leam which flows through the town. Leamington lies near the centre of England - indeed, a young tree called the Midland Oak, at Lillington, just to the north-east of the town centre, is marked by a plaque claiming that it marks the very centre of the country.
