Twitter users have branded a luxury swimming pool 115ft above the ground a ‘nightmare’ and described how dizzying aerial photos of it has made them feel sick.
The 25m transparent pool sits on the 10th floor between two blocks of flats in Nine Elms, Vauxhall in south-west London, just down the road from the US Embassy.
Boasting astonishing views of the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, the pool above the Embassy Gardens flats has been hailed as the most exclusive venue to take a dip in Britain.
But people on social media are squeamish at the prospect of going swimming more than 100ft in the air, with Twitter users calling the pool a ‘recipe for disaster’ and ‘a nightmare’.
‘Not swimming out over that glass death pool nope nope nope’, one person tweeted, while another said: ‘I love heights but some things just aren’t worth it. I’ll stick to in-ground pools’. Others posted funny GIFs of actor Danny DeVito shaking his head and saying ‘no’.
The first of its kind and entirely transparent, only residents and guests of the Embassy Gardens flats it sits atop are allowed access to the 25m-long, 5m-wide and 3m-deep infinity pool.
