Editor's note
The Ned boasts a striking rooftop pool offering panoramic views of the London skyline, a significant draw for guests and club members. This heated pool provides a unique setting, elevated above the bustling city. However, its allure is somewhat tempered by strict child-access hours and potential overcrowding, as hinted by guest reviews.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
What guests say about the pool
The spa deserves a special mention. From the changing rooms to the pool, every detail is exceptional.
The pool isn’t included in the room rate (£15 per person), breakfast is only “included” up to about £30 and doesn’t cover drinks like coffee or orange juice, and service charges are added on top of that.

Why it's on the list
The Ned features a heated rooftop pool offering views of the City and St Paul’s Cathedral. An indoor 20-metre lap pool is located in the basement spa. Both pools permit children, with specific hours for the rooftop pool.
Why it's not higher
Access to the rooftop pool is restricted based on room type, with guests in standard rooms directed to the basement pool. Day passes are available for the spa, but it is not explicitly stated if this includes pool access.
Sources we used
Editorial review based on the hotel's own website, recent guest reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, and our notes from the property.
Reviewed by: Per Lindhe
The official website confirms a heated rooftop pool and a basement gym and pool. Google Places mentions a spa and pool. Web search results detail the 20-metre length of the basement pool and access restrictions for the rooftop pool. Tripadvisor mentions a lovely pool area and spa area. The official site also states spa access is for guests 18 and over, but a web search clarifies children are allowed in the rooftop pool during specific hours.
