- Residents of the building with a top floor transparent swimming pool bridge are fuming that it costs more than £150,000 ($201,853) to heat over the winter months.
- “If it’s £450 a day and, at most, five people are using it, that’s £90 per swim. That hardly seems like value for money,” one couple who live in the development told The Sun.
- “We’re livid… We’re basically heating the sky,” a resident bitterly complained about the utterly foreseeable maintenance fees for the one-of-a-kind swimming pool.

The flats with the pool, which is 82ft long, stretches between buildings, and is 115ft up in the air in Nine Elms went viral in the summer for all the wrong reasons as social media users said it made them feel pretty ill…”
