Leamington Spa, eight miles from the University, is an old market town made up of mostly Georgian and Victorian housing, with some new-build areas.

The Jephson Gardens and Pump Rooms at the bottom on the Parade are popular with locals and tourists alike. Leamington has its own theatre and sports facilities.

Housing

Property prices vary greatly from the more favoured north side of the town, to the more reasonably priced, but still accessible, south side.

Schools

The schools are generally very good in Leamington and offer a good selection of public and comprehensive schools.
