How would you like to take a dip in a swimming pool in the Thames? Yes, you read that right.

Architects Studio Octopi, Civic Engineers and Jonathan Cook Landscape Architects have designed plans to create a floating 25m pool and plunge pool next to Blackfriars bridge.

The architects claim that the Thames would be clean and ready for leisure use once after Thames Waterโ€™s proposed supersewer is completed in 2023.

Chris Romer-Lee, co-founder of Studio Octopi, told the London Evening Standard:

โ€œWhen Bazalgetteโ€™s sewer was completed, everyone took to the water. When the supersewer is completed, the level of water quality will increase substantially.

โ€œWhy canโ€™t that open up possibilities for Londoners to get increased access to the waterfront?โ€
