The Royal Pump Room Gardens is a popular open space found in the centre of Leamington Spa, next to the Royal Pump Rooms and just north of the River Leam. Despite being named 'gardens' there is only one 5.4-acre (22,000 m2) area divided by footpaths with an ironwork bandstand in the centre.

To begin with the gardens were only for the use of patrons of the Royal Pump Rooms "to afford them pleasant promenades." The original bandstand was later erected and bands played in the afternoon and evening during the summer (and other public holidays) for those paying to use the baths. However in 1875 the gardens were opened to the public. In 1881 plans were made to build the town hall on the gardens but at the last minute a change of site was agreed and it was built further north near The Regent Hotel. The current bandstand was designed by Walter MacFarlane & Co and founded in Glasgow. It was installed in 1896.
