  • Royal Leamington Spa Is a Medium-Sized Town in Warwickshire, in the Heart of the English Countryside
    Royall Leamiington Spa – an overviiew Royal Leamington Spa is a medium-sized town in Warwickshire, in the heart of the English countryside. It has a fine Georgian town centre and a spa in the Royal Pump Rooms. Leamington Spa also has one of the finest local shopping centers. Leamington is one of a group of Warwickshire towns to the South-East of Birmingham (the UK's second largest city). The others are Stratford-upon-Avon (birthplace of Shakespeare), Warwick (home to probably the finest castle in Britain) and Kenilworth (a smaller, more genteel, castle town). Ten miles to the north we have the city of Coventry, home to Jaguar cars. To the south we have the Cotswolds with attractive towns like Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water less than an hour's drive away. In the summer, Leamington is always amongst the leading contenders for the "Britain in Bloom" award with everything from the parks to roundabouts and the fire station decked out with flowers. Leamington Spa has two cinemas, a theatre, a ten pin bowling, free tennis courts, disc golf, a municipal golf course, a library and art gallery and a leisure centre including a large swimming pool. How to fiind us Regular buses run from Coventry, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington. Leamington Spa has a well-served train station. Here are some examples of direct train services. • 1h 40m from London (Paddington or Marylebone) • 45 mins from Birmingham (Snow Hill, Moor Street or New Street) • 20 minutes to Birmingham International Airport • 45 mins from Oxford • 15 mins from Coventry www.sprachenmarkt.de, Tel: +49-711-45 10 17 370, [email protected] Distance by coach Birmingham 30 mins East Midlands 55m London Gatwick 1hr 55m London Heathrow 1h 40m London Stansted 1hr 45 mins Luton 1hr 30m Leamiington Spa as a home stay centre Leamington Spa is ideally suited to a home stay centre as it is safe, friendly, not crowded with other teenage groups and a suitable size that students can feel at home quickly and find their way around but without getting bored.
