The Royal Pump Rooms and Baths is a Grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 481801 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-481801-royal-pump-room-and-baths-royal-leamingt British Listed Buildings) in Leamington Spa. It was the most famous of several spa baths opened in Leamington between the late-18th and mid-19th centuries. When 'taking the waters' became less fashionable after the mid-19th century the Pump Rooms became Leamington's only surviving spa facility, later also being extended to include the town's public swimming pool. The building was renovated 1997-99 after floods to form library, museum, art gallery, tourist information centre and café-restaurant.
