23 years for me mate. Same here.
I was born in Leamington. Lived on Portland Place near the Regal Cinema and Bandstand for the first 2 years of my life, then moved to Woodloes, Warwick. Warwick is literally connected to Leamington and is beautiful as well, more historic, whereas Leamington is more classy. Absolutely love Leamington and Warwick. Moved to London when I was 23 and now settled in West London but Leamington will always be home for me, miss it. Spent so many of my formative years there. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻
Very nice looking place and so clean 😊 it makes me want to visit Leamington Spa! 😊

The statue of Queen Victoria outside of the town hall has moved a couple of inchs on it's plinth so it's no longer sitting square. This was caused by a bomb blast in WW2

I had the pleasure of living there for 10 years, after I'd lived in Warwick for 23 years from birth! (Now I live in Finland.) Both beautiful places. Incidentally, in WW2 a bomb landed near the statue of Queen Victoria, moving it an inch off-centre. She was not amused!

My hometown. I'm currently looking at your videos as I'm taking some tourists round Mevagissey, Tintagel, Jamaica Inn and Plymouth. Leam looks better on film than in real life! :D BTW, Leamington Spa is in Warwickshire and not the West Midlands.
My family have recently moved to Warwickshire, and Leamington Spa is a 30 minute drive away, Banbury is nearer but they prefer Leamington Spa
A lovely walkabout, it’s one of my favourite places. Just a few suggestions. Have you thought about filming in Evesham, Bridgnorth and Lichfield.
Beautiful day. The wedding couple might like to know they can see their photography day in video Have you ever had someone ask you not to film them?

No not really In other countries they ask/beg me to film them when I’m out and about and invite me into their shops to film etc Here in England it’s a stranger reaction and very weird
How about Warwick. I use these videos to decide where to visit. Keep up the good work!😊

Hi , back in the 1480s Leamington was a village and a natural spring of saline water was found , this water was found to be theraputic and people would come to drink and bathe in the water. The Royal Pump Rooms was built for this purpose as the town grew.

It’s very clean Neil but not much there seemingly unless you want the high end shops? It would be great if you’d consider visiting Tutbury as I’m going there soon? I enjoyed the video Neil and thanks for the factoids
Miserable failure gimbal - You missed the main shopping area i.e. Upper Parade, Warwick Street and the Royal Priors shopping Center ...

Leamington is also dangerous and very expensive!
