If I had to pick my favourite thing about living in London, it’s the fact there is always something new and different to be doing. Be that a pop up restaurant, exhibition or just visiting some of the not so well known areas of the city and exploring what’s on there. So, in this vain when I heard about the Kings Cross Pond Club I knew I’d have to pay a visit (& feature it on here because “the first rule of Pond Club..” isn’t that you can’t talk about it..). Essentially, it is the UK’s first ever man-made fresh water public bathing pond. Or in other words, a swimming pool where the water is completely filtered by plants without a chemical in sight. Originally intended to be open for two years only, this part of an experimental art piece called “Of Soil & Water” created by Ooze Architects (Eva Pfannes and Sylvain Hartenberg) and artist Marjetica Potrc.
