Sydenham is an eastern suburb of the town of Leamington Spa, in the Warwick district, in the county of Warwickshire, England.

The three water courses in question are the small Radbrook and the much larger River Leam and the Grand Union Canal.

In 1959 all the animals and equipment from Sydenham Farm were sold at auction and the site purchased by the Borough Council and development company AC Lloyd.

Coventry born architect Frederick Gibberd was employed in 1962 to oversee the first stage of development which would be 95 acres and cost £2.5 million.

[5] By 1967 almost 2,500 people were housed in this development, situated north of the already closed and lifted Leamington Rugby railway line.

There are two public houses on the estate, The Fusilier which opened in 1965 in the north next to the canal and The Shire Grill, formally The Grist Mill, (1985) in the south.

The original row of shops built during the first development phrase are still used now, with 3 takeaways, Post Office, a small Morrisons Daily and a pharmacy.
