Of Soil and Water: King’s Cross Pond Club is a new art installation in the form of a natural bathing pond, right in the middle of the King’s Cross development site.

The 40 metre long pond has space for over 100 bathers and is entirely chemical free. The water is purified through a natural, closed-loop process process using wetland and submerged water plants to filter the water and keep it clear. The pond is surrounded by wild flowers and grasses that change with the season.

Of Soil and Water: King’s Cross Pond Club is designed by architects Ooze (Eva Pfannes and Sylvain Hartenberg) and artist Marjetica Potrč as part of the King’s Cross public art program RELAY. The installation aims to make us think about the relationship between nature and the urban environment – the permanence of buildings and the changing nature of undeveloped spaces.

Pond Club Events Programme:
The pond will open in Spring 2015 for everyone to enjoy. And while they await the warmer weather, they’ve put together a programme of talks, tours and events centred around the Pond Club. You can find out more details by clicking here>>
