Those keen to beat the summer heat can take a dip in this swanky infinity pool - but will need to make note of the specific times swimmers are allowed in.

Atop the new art'otel hotel in Battersea, the pool offers stunning views of the neighbouring Battersea Power Station.

Anyone can access the pool on Monday mornings this summer, aside from the August bank holiday. But to get in, you have to sign up to the aqua aerobics class.

[{"selector":"#anim-ec6c6132-7463-41d6-8330-f706f08e1a1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7019c491-e149-460c-998c-69912ec1ba90","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -140.12912%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16a7bc93-93fc-4b82-86ae-0f91abe27e84","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a644c6e-8623-435e-9591-adf3024bc029","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-96.62162%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bb058e9-b71c-4d08-a9cb-32b8f59d616f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ef88ebb-cf20-4db7-a045-3f0a5239534f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.96379%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The pool is heated to provide relief from fresh mornings, and the fee does include a hot drink and a pastry.

[{"selector":"#anim-7837dc09-f605-4ebd-9783-a8bebca24c9b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b6e1105-e681-43af-ae7e-e4ef9d10858b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -140.12912%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bdaa8192-c11d-4080-aca5-6f7cc6b5bc68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a783940b-4158-419d-952f-0254d0f6a61d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-96.62162%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15bed37b-2078-4740-85c6-c6e58c1a41f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7d75e93-e496-46c7-b634-8bd1f32f003d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.52089%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The catch is you'll have to cough up £25 for the 45-minute session.

[{"selector":"#anim-623fc3ec-c8d0-4725-8722-b0025773fbf2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b11d9610-81cb-4bb8-a2a5-d82f3890fc57","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -140.12912%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e695b116-bbc5-47a3-8a4e-6d64cfe059fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-846f97c3-a055-4fe3-8736-4ee2c765f85c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-96.62162%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-75e05bb4-9bad-477c-94af-ffb1ff6eed4a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-99be13fe-e89d-412a-a3a3-1e0db4a449fc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.61484%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

There's also a rooftop bar called JOIA, again featuring the Battersea Power Station chimneys in the background - and again charging a premium for the views.
