Landsdowne Crescent
by Aphro
Walk along Warwick Street in an easterly direction until you think the road is finished - cross over the traffic lights and walk another 100m - here you'll find the Regency terrace.
It was built at the height of Leamington's era as the centre of fashionable spa life in the UK.
It's all private houses and flats now, but very beautiful.
Take the small streets behind and there is Landsdowne Circus, a circular street with gorgeous Regency villas and a small round park area in the middle.
Jephson Gardens - Ornamental Lake
by antistar
The focal point of the Parade side of the gardens, and unmissable as you enter through the main gates. On hot summer days it is very pleasant to sit in the shade by the lake, in view of the refreshing spray of the fountains. The fountains themselves are based on those found at Hampton Court, and installed in 1925-26.
War Memorial
by grayfo
The Leamington Spa memorial is in the form of a figure of a serviceman, with head bowed and arms reversed. The figure stands atop a square plinth, which bears the names of the fallen, and the inscription; there is a two-stepped base. Last updated 29 March 2008 the memorial was created by Albert Toft and was first unveiled 27 May 1922 and re-dedicated November 1951. A transcription is still required but there may be names for World War 1 and 2 as well as Korea and the Falklands.
The Parish Church of All Saints
by antistar
The large parish church, built in the 19th century in the impressive Victorian Gothic style, was built on top of the existing church which served the small population of Leamington Priors for eight centuries before. The church is big, rivalling many cathedrals, and can seat up to a 1000 people.
