The swimming pool at Embassy Gardens
The wellness revolution has well and truly taken hold in London, and today the spotlight shifts to Nine Elms where the 35-metre high sky pool at Embassy Gardens has been revealed ahead of its opening on May 20. The dizzyingly high transparent 25-metre-long pool links two residential towers at the 10th floor, allowing swimmers to fast crawl their way between the two while gazing at the new US Embassy.
Said to be the world s first floating pool , it s the highlight of this ultra luxury Battersea residence, where penthouses cost £4.5m through Johns & Co, and compliments the tenth floor bar and spa. Shipped from Colorado, the pool is designed to flex as the buildings settle and sway in the wind. Its reveal today was followed by a collective gasp in the capital. would you dare?
