Fancy a swim? Believe it or not, you can swim outside in London. Shoreditch House – owned by Nick Jones, the man who brought us Soho House – is situated in east London and has a heated rooftop pool.
It also has a fabulous set of places to drink inside, an onsite bowling alley and a Cowshed spa. Very possibly the best place to chill out in the capital.
Just a detail - Shoreditch House, like its Soho sister, is an expensive private members only venue catering for the usual TV/advertising/media/music crowd and city execs. Would be a great place if it were more democratic.
