For thrill-seeking swimmers, the chance to take a death-defying dip might not be far away. Plans to build a rooftop infinity pool -- with 360-degree views of the London skyline -- are in motion.
The pool will be made from cast acrylic and will feature transparent sides and floors, so visitors below will be able to see swimmers splashing around above them.To keep views pristine, there are no stairs on the outside of the pool or the building -- instead, a spiral staircase that rotates and rises through the water provides access for swimmers.
It will have one GRESAT diving board. At least 1 minute to landing.
你测逆天你测
How do you 'get into' it Rotating spiral staircase 🤔 I still have no idea.. Or maybe jump from next building..?! Haha
Wow, this Fantastic.
There could be a local rains for all the people whose passing around the building down there 😂😂
I think the architects may have missed something. How do you get in this pool ?
Sweet view
So how to get in that pool ?
How do u actually get in it?
Entrance: 320£
No entry n exit
How TF do you get out or in?
It will miss just the sun to enjoy it
Helicopters included?
Looks sick!!! naomi2112
Click the link and read inside you'll know how to get in and out.
Most likely one of Nigel Farag’s brilliant ideas!
how to get down？
'To keep views pristine, there are no stairs on the outside of the pool or the building -- instead, a spiral staircase that rotates and rises through the water provides access for swimmers.' That's pretty fucking clever.
Why? Nobody wants to watch swinging dingalings instead of actual swimming.
The White House is pressing ahead with President Donald Trump’s demand that Boeing paint new Air Force One jets red, white and blue, replacing the blue-and-white pattern used since the early 1960s.
😲 Wow.....there is no way in Hell I would EVER contemplate swimming in a pool like that! *shivers*
How would you get into the pool
More selfie deaths imminent.
Wait...how does this work
How do you get in the pool?
Infinity?
No thanks.
This world! Swimming in the sky.
How does one get in?
NO
But square...
Where’s the brexit?
Is it a one way traffic ? How a person get out of it ?

Leaving aside the clear design failings, London’s weather would limit the use of this pool to only a few months a year.
And they can get a 360 view of EU saying bye-bye
haw to in...to the pool .......thats didcusting😋😋🤣🤣😇
where's fire exit?
Nahhhh,I’m good.
“I’m just gonna hop out and sit on the siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”.......
Well, I guess they have just solved one of London's biggest problems. Not.
Another, reason to go to London.(someday in future)😅😅
baghelsushmita
Where's the exit?
No that’s how you overlord.
Was all the other 'world's first' records taken that they had to come up with this?
Me trying to use my spidey powers in order to get into the pool
Love Infinity Pools but feel they aren’t viscerally terrifying enough? Have we got the product for you! New Anxiety Pools by Panic Attack Incorporated!!! DrownLikeASim
*possible modifications
How do you get in? 😂
What could go wrong?
Havuza nerden girilip çıkılıyor😀
water would push you right to the long travel below when glass cracked.
This looks dangerous
This seems like a facilities management nightmare...
London, known for its year-round sunshine!!
And the first time that staircase malfunctions, London will have the 'world's first' infinity fish tank.
Pour y accéder c’est par hélico ?
Get dropped by drones in pool
How do you get in or out.
When youre done theyll just flush you like a toilet 🚽
So you have to find the door? W00T!! It's JUST like Brexit!!
How do you get out
How you get to the pool 🤔
Because they have nothing else on which to spend money.
So how do you get in and out?
No.
great
I can’t be the only one confused on how they get in/ out
There must be one hell of a ladder that gets you up there.
取材に行ってみてよ。 面白そうじゃん！
How do you get in it? Are you parachuted in
Where does the water go though that is splashed over the edges? Does it just hit people who are walking on the sidewalks below?
Nope!
How exactly can you get to the pool? Coz im not seeing it...i feel scared just looking at it.... i'd rather go book myself in marina bay singapore... seriously.
I’ll pass
That'll put an end to the knifings for sure.
Who gives a f***? Can’t even brexit out of a paper bag.
this gave me a panic attack
Must air lift and drop you from a helicopter. lol
Gue masih mikir ini cara naik ke atas nya pegimana yah
Where’s thanos
I wanna be the first to pee in it.
But how many people will be stabbed in that pool?
🎶 The only way out is up 🎶
Do you have to be dropped in by helicopter?
You mean suicide pool. Well my ass wont be in that pool at that height hell no to satan remedy
To those below who don't want to read, I don't blame you. Here you go: To keep views pristine, there are no stairs on the outside of the pool or the building -- instead, a spiral staircase that rotates and rises through the water provides access for swimmers.
You know how many homeless people that pool could feed?
Love seeing comments of people who don’t read the story. Shows how politics is the way it is! Spiral staircase based on submarine door - that’s how they get in - until the first person falls from it🤦♂️
WHERE'S the bar
Ohhoooo
Hell na.
Looks a lot like the sort of thing you'd build in The Sims to see how long they'd survive in there
I could create a list of many perfect cities for a pool like this and London would not be on that list...
StLadders W_M_Barker gazzzw21 this is mint!
MabhidaMartins How u get in this bih?
How do they get into the pool? 🤔
Nope
what happens when a helicopter lands on it ...
Good news: open the entire London summer which is the second weekend in August. Bad news: once the zeppelin drops you in you must wait overnight before rappelling down the south wall.
'To keep views pristine, there are no stairs on the outside of the pool or the building -- instead, a spiral staircase that rotates and rises through the water provides access for swimmers'. One catch though...what if you are in the pool and the staircase broke down?
And people will muster courage go swim in this!!
Nah not worth it for me one unlucky day and it is all over .
Why
And after you get into that pool you see a crack in the wall lol .
'We faced some quite major technical challenges ..., the biggest one being how to actually get into the pool' 'The solution is based on the door of a submarine, coupled with a rotating spiral staircase which rises from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out.'
A jumpers paradise
London needs roof top pool tbh but is the entrance to this pool underwater?😭
But there are currently no plans to heat it....
Socialism is great! CNN. Also, don't look for this building to actually be built.
What could go wrong
What if Janice mistakenly passes a log. It'll probably never get cleaned 😝
Same energy.
How do you get into the pool Seems like fake news!!!!!
seems dangerous for accidents
Swim in the haze and smog, no thanks.
Oh HELL no.
Nah, I’m good
Dropped in by parachute?
NO
I know this has nothing to do with the skyline, but I just want to thank CNN for the negativity and hate the network brings towards Donald Trump. Please continue bringing it until the election is over. It only assures that the greatest President of all time will win again. 👍🇺🇸
How tf do u get in and out den 🤨
It will become a water slide in case of earthquake 🤣
for the 3 days a year of nice weather they have?
Hellll nooooo, as soon as that shit breaks, you gonna be a human water fall
*Gets dropped in pool* *looks down* Well, I guess this is my life now.
So how do you get up there tho? Helicopters drop you off? 🤣🤣
I bet the insanely wealthy will really enjoy that
In Submarine, scientists have a way of getting out and in under water. Probably same technique would be applied.
No thanks. I saw mechanic: resurrection.
Perfect vantage point to watch the acid attacks, scooter robberies, knife murders and overall death of England from.
...but spending to lift your fellow humans out of unimaginable conditions of hunger and poverty, now that's just irresponsible use of wealth.
a) it's always raining the overflow will be horrendous and b) how tf do you get in?
Will they need to jump from a helicopter
By the time it opens, women will be required to wear burqas
Lots of deaths.
So, how do you get in and out of this pool?
Plans to house the homeless however, are put on hold
seriously though how can they truly get in the pool?🤔
They will be in that pool forever
Wonder who the first person to pee in it will be?
Just because you can do something does not mean that you should!
Just another way for rich whites to look down on people.
I guess the mayor of London needs a pool.
Lmao...Really!?
There is absolutely no way I would ever get into that pool. Besides based on the picture do they air drop you in?
I've made this in TheSims a thousand times... they couldn't get out either 😂
Why couldn't that money best be spent else where
Death trap
Insane and outstanding at the same time.
So do you helicopter in? BASE jump from adjacent rooftop? Let’s discuss entry logistics please.
You want it? 😏 I want it! 🤗 LOL kinda cool if not a little wasteful.. 🤷🏻♀️
That look terrifying
how do you get in? how do you clean it? how do you stay warm? How do you keep it from overflowing with rain?
Yea right away the fact the architect that designed this left no access point in his or her design makes me question the structural integrity. I mean that much water weight would compromise the entire structure supporting it unless that building was built specifically to it.
So how does one get in and out of this pool? Bathroom? Sitting area if you’re just not interested in staying in the water the entire time? Safety barriers between pool and certain death? Weather proof? Have these designers been to London?
Uh London 360DegreeInfinityPool InfinityPool 360Degree
So many questions... 1 How do you get in and out? 2 Where does the lifeguard sit? K, actually just the 2 questions for now...
THAT looks sufficiently high as to be able to resist rising sea-levels for some while to come.
How do you get out of this pool?
Beautiful. Let us trust in climate change and warming up enough to use this swimming pool on the roof, but not enough to flood the City of London because of Polar melting and oceans rising over the river Thames- and many other (today invisible) rivers of this wonderful metropolis
Someone tries to stand on a corner to dive in and is blown off by wind. To get in and out a spiral staircase rises from the bottom, so you're underwater 'till the compartment drains the water? I don't think you thought this all the way through....... Maybe I'm missing something.
Does anybody else see the flaws in this plan?
Is that what the Muslims will be throwing gays off of once they institute Sharia law?
How do you get up top in it.
I would love to urinate in that pool
WHY?
Cool
Is the weather ever warm enough to constitute this kind of thing?
Wooowwww
Lets see what's wrong with this rendering.... 1 Infinity pools have runoffs that return the water to the pool,,,,,none here.....And 2 How does one get to the top floor the pool is on as there is no elevator entrance.
Here's how they drop you in. 😂
Instagram influencers will line up for this 🤣🤣
How the heck do U get in or out?
Ain’t no way
Nope. No thanks.
'if only mainstream media outlets covered the story with the gravity it deserves' MSM
No thanks! I choose life
Now all they need is for London to have 'swimming weather'...
Uh, hell to the no.
“It is also fitted with a full spectrum of lights which will give the building the appearance of a sparkling jewel-topped torch at night”
HPelt3 this looks like the scariest place on earth
looks like much more than 600 liter
Stupid
I am imagining how this will work, and I say screw this on several levels. I'd have too much anxiety the entire time thinking of everything that could go wrong. *hops in car and drives 90 mph down a freeway with hundred of other cars going the same speed* Ahh, the contradictions
Probably heated too right? Looks mighty spectacular in the photo even though a point of access seems to be missing as other commenters suggested.
Make that 600,000 liters,
Who drew this stupid thing? What do they think people are going to do swim up from the middle?
Infinity London
with 600L would be just hot tub not a pool
What could possibly go wrong? 😲
Why do you get out?
'How you get in the pool' Asks person who only looks at pretty pictures....
Anybody else think this looks like a bad idea 🤔
Crazy friggin' cool!
You would not get me in there for any money in the world.
Presumably they dump you in by helicopter?
The designs for the 600-liter pool? 0.6m3? Sure that’s not a bath?
What could go wrong?
“The pool will also feature a full-time attendant who serves drinks and will, upon request, stab guests with their choice of knife to make the pool uniquely London.”
It’ll be a rooftop ice rink in winter.
Why? Why is this needed?
So do they drop you in by helicopter and take you out by helicopter as well?
600 liters doesn't seem like enough water to fill a bathtub.
Hard pass.
I would never go in it.
Yikes.
What a fun looking crime scene
Wow what a great way to die. My fear of drowning meets my fear of heights.
No access? Definitely a scope gap.
Cómo chingados llegas a las alberca en helicoptero o q pedo
Unfortunately it will cost you $300 to be choppered in...
And no one will be allowed to use it due to safety concerns.
