Leamington Spa is a fantastic place to live, but walking up town can be a nightmare. Professional beggers now litter the length of the Parade with doorways and key points occupied by an ever growing army looking for handouts. The parks are lovely but again you stand a good chance of being hit for 10p which is never really 10p, to cover a fantasy bus ride, but in the park you're more likely to meet one of the towns many alcoholics, so keep an eye on your kids at all times. If you drive, be careful parking and going for a leisurely stroll to the shops or having a bite to eat, etc. as there is now one traffic warden per thousand residents, and they will get you for any errors on your part. Yes, it's a beautiful town, but with the police and council turning a blind eye to so much antisocial behaviour, a lot of people are starting to wonder how much longer before it becomes just another borough of Coventry.
Hi Sue, first of all thanks for watching the video and of course for the positive feedback. Regarding the name provenience, I've been born in Bucharest on 1st of April 88. The birthday was close to Palm Sunday which in Romanian is translated as ("Duminica Floriilor" - The Sunday of Flowers), therefore my parents decided naming me Florian. So, Florian is a masculine name of mixed origin. Coming predominately from Slavic and Latin origins, this name means "flower".
No that pub called the old library was NOT a library until 1997! The library was up Avenue Road. That pub was pervious a Wetherspoon and prior to that was The Chair and Rocket! Check your facts.

Thanks for the real life description of the area. The info is useful for who ever will want to visit the town in future. Cheers!
People have been wondering about the Coventry borough thing since I gre up there in the late 70's, so no Leamington will remain Leamington.
Glad you got in the glass house, was shut last time we went
Indeed, last time we've been there the place was closed. But, to be honest with you, I was quite surprised seeing that has a free entrance :)
Where did you get a name like Florian? I was born in Leamington in 1961 and i'm still here. Love your tour!

The old library pub info is incorrect
Oh.. we apologize for every inconvenience caused here. What exactly is mistaken here? 🤔

Thanks for the feedback and of course for the clarification. We'll pay more attention at details next time we'll visit Leamington SPA.
Should have named this video 'Tour of the gardens' also IS NOT a city... poor effort!
Yeah, we've figured out it's not a city after finishing the video :)
