London Hotel With Pool On Roof

Ever dreamt of taking a dip in a pool with a view that's anything but ordinary? Well, buckle up, because in the heart of London, there's a hotel that's turned its roof into a swimming paradise. I mean, who needs a stuffy old gym when you can work on your tan lines while taking in the city skyline?

So, what's the deal with this rooftop pool?

Picture this: you're in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities, but you're not stuck in the concrete jungle. No, no, you're floating above it all, in a heated pool, mind you, on the 10th floor of the Wet'n'Wild of hotels, also known as the CitizenM London Bankside.

Now, I'm not talking about one of those tiny plunge pools you find in some hotels. Oh no, this is a proper, 20-meter long, infinity pool. It's like they took a slice of the Mediterranean and plonked it right down in the middle of Southwark. Pretty neat, huh?

But why stop at a pool?

Well, why indeed? The CitizenM crew didn't. They've also thrown in a hot tub, because, you know, why not? It's like they looked at the traditional hotel pool and said, "Nah, let's give our guests something they'll never forget."

And the best part? You don't have to be a guest to enjoy this little slice of heaven. For a small fee, you can buy a day pass and spend the day lounging by the pool, sipping on a cocktail (yes, they have a bar up there too!), and soaking up the sun. It's like they've created a secret oasis in the middle of the city, and we're all invited.

But what's the catch?

Well, there's no such thing as a free lunch, right? So, while the pool is open to non-guests, it's not exactly a budget-friendly activity. Day passes start at around £30, and that's before you factor in food and drinks. But hey, you're paying for the experience, and let's face it, not many people can say they've swum laps with the London Eye as their backdrop.

And if you're thinking, "That's all well and good, but what about the weather?" don't worry, the pool is heated, and there's a retractable roof to keep the rain at bay. It's like they thought of everything. Well, almost everything. There's no lifeguard on duty, so you'll have to keep an eye on the kids (and maybe the adults too, let's be honest).

So, who's ready to make a splash?

If you're looking for a unique way to spend a day in London, this might just be it. It's like they've taken the best bits of a holiday - the pool, the sun, the cocktails - and brought them right into the heart of the city. It's not every day you get to swim with a view like that. So, grab your swimsuit, slap on some sunscreen, and get ready to make a splash. Just remember to leave your flippers at home, okay?
