London


<p>With temperatures set to top the high 20s this weekend, our thoughts have turned to high-rise spots for alfresco fun in the city. Here&#8217;s a curated guide to the most stylish places to make a splash when the mercury soars. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-virgin-hotel-shoreditch"><a href="blank">Virgin Hotel Shoreditch </a></h2>

<p>This East London hottie is based in the former Mondrian Shoreditch building on Curtain Road. It has Ibiza in the city vibes, with a private members club, complete with DJs, co-working hub, restaurant and club. Hotel guests can use the space though, so if you want to take a dip in London&#8217;s most coveted heated pool, you know where to book. </p>

<p>Another Muddy favourite. This hotel overlooking the famous towers of the reimagined power station has the rooftop of dreams &#8211; sixteen floors up with incredible views (even better at night), Jacuzzi and heated infinity pool (Muddy&#8217;s been for a dip in December). Oh and did we mention there&#8217;s a top spa too?</p>

<p>Another East London rooftop hangout that&#8217;s centred around aquatic fun. It may have opened <em>waaay</em> back in 2007 in the top three floors of a renovated &#8217;30s factory building, but its red stripe loungers, open air bar and heated pool are still synonymous with good times year-round and, although you have to be a member of Soho House to take a dip, members can bring a plus-one. Time to pull in some favours this summer (or apply for membership).</p>

<p>Possibly the most stylish rooftop pool set up in London, we love it all from the striped loungers and pretty parasols to the city views and potted palms. A little slice of Capri in the capital, visit Surrenne, the hotel&#8217;s spa with Tracy Anderson fitness studio and café with a menu created by nutritionist Rose Ferguson, then head to the roof to top up your tan. </p>

<p>This recent addition to the Soho House family has a pool with breathtaking views right in the heart of London. Set in a Brutalist building close to Somerset House, the private members club (it will set you back around £200pm to join), also boasts an outdoor terrace, restaurant and two bars decked out in 70s-inspired decor. Check out the daily programme of events. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-ned-city-of-london"><a href="blank" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Ned</a>, City of London </h2>

<p>There&#8217;s so much going on at The Ned, what with its 10 public restaurants and 12 bars on the ground floor, hotel and private members&#8217; club upstairs, it&#8217;s easy to forget there&#8217;s a swimming pool on the roof. Keep your eye on the prize though as this is the place, above all, that you want to access when temperatures soar. if you love an al fresco city scene (and how doesn&#8217;t?), the heated pool and outdoor terraces alone are worth the annual £3000+. </p>
