In short: In London, private pools are mostly found in prime houses in Hampstead, Kensington, Chelsea, St John's Wood and Wimbledon, often in basements. Many new developments in Nine Elms, Canary Wharf, King's Cross and the City fringe offer residents' pools, gyms and spas, which is the most affordable way to get pool access. Private pools add significant heating, maintenance and insurance costs, and basement pools need planning permission and careful construction. Fraser Bond can search for homes with pools to buy or rent.
