A swimming pool that appears to float in the sky is part of a new development planned for Nine Elms.

Whether or not you would have the courage to swim in the 25m pool 10 storeys high with pedestrians below looking up at you is another matter.

The development - Embassy Gardens - would be built around Battersea Power Station on about 15 acres of land surrounding the new US Embassy, with 2,000 new homes, leisure facilities and a hotel, according to the designs from developer Ballymore.
