The world's first "sky pool" has been unveiled - and it's high enough to give anyone a touch of vertigo¹.

世界第一个“空中泳池”近日惊艳亮相——它的高度足以让任何人头晕目眩。

Towering far above the street balanced between two residential² buildings in Nine Elms in London like a precarious³ nest, the sky pool isn't for everyone.

But the newly-built swimming experience looks like it has to be tried if you're not bothered by heights.

Situated⁴ in the capital's new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the 90ft long glass encased pool is suspended 10 storeys, or 110ft up.

The pool is entirely⁵ transparent⁶ and structure free, 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m.

Acting⁷ as a bridge between two apartment buildings, swimmers are afforded a view right through the bottom of the pool down to the street below, and it's even got a bar, loungers, a spa and an orangery.

It's in Embassy Gardens, and is a part of a new development which will have 2,000 homes beside the new American Embassy in the capital.
