Kings Cross Bathing Pond
 | |||||||||||||||||||||
The UK's first ever man-made fresh water public bathing pond is a piece of innovative Land Art, within a working construction site area of London's King's Cross. The 40m long, natural, chemical-free pond is the creation of Ooze Architects (Eva Pfannes and Sylvain Hartenberg) and artist Marjetica Potrc. The pond was engineered and built by Europe's leading natural pool designers BIOTOP (http://www.biotop-natural-pool.com) and its UK partner, Kingcombe Aquacare Ltd. Entitled 'Of Soil and Water': the King's Cross Pond Club, the piece encourages visitors to enter the water and participate in the installation as a piece of experiential art. Admission: Prices range from £3.50 to £6.50 for peak swims and non swimmers will be able to visit the pond at a discounted rate. Opening Times: The pond is open May through September Monday to Friday from 6am until dusk, plus Saturday and Sunday from 8am until dusk. Tickets will be available for designated sessions throughout the day, and 2 weeks in advance. | |||||||||||||||||||||
