The heated rooftop pool at Shoreditch House is the epitome of urban cool. If you don't have the dosh for membership - which is required to enter this punchy private club - find yourself a new best friend that does, as members are allowed to bring their friends. Sip cocktails between the swims and enjoy the fab view of East London's high-rise offices and old warehouses. You'll see and be seen.
