Leamington Spa, or Royal Leamington Spa to give it its full name, is a small town in Warwickshire, England and is about a 15 minute drive from Stratford-on Avon.  It's a friendly place, where I lived for just over 25 years and is noted for its Regency architecture.  Apparently, Queen Victoria spent a night in Leamington when her train broke down at the local station, after which it was allowed to call itself "Royal".  It's also the site of an old spa, which reputedly had healing properties, but which has long since been discontinued.
