Who needs Bali when our infinity pool selection is this good? 💦

📌Little Barn, Oxfordshire

This three-bedroom nineteenth-century Cotswold stone barn boasts a natural swimming pond just outside the back door – a happy middle ground between your local lido and wild swimming Image
📌North Rock Beach House, Cornwall

This is, frankly, Bond-villain levels of luxury. North Rock Beach House is perched on a cliff above Sennen Cove, one of Cornwall’s loveliest beaches. So the views from the pool and loungers are absolutely ridiculous Image
📌Box Barn, Gloucestershire

This former farm barn sleeps 17 people. There's a games room, massive cooking range, opulent dining room and a private heated pool that has a handy retractable roof, so that you can still practice your backstroke in a classic English summer downpour Image
📌The Bothy, Hampshire

This bright and light cottage might only be a mile or so from the sea, but there’s one good reason to stay put. Most of the rooms open out onto a private heated pool, so you’ve got zero excuses not to jump in at the deep end Image
📌Halula Beach House, Cornwall

Just off of Fistral Beach in Newquay, this enormous rental which sleeps 24 cashes in on the area’s surfy atmosphere with a private pool, colourful bean bags, hot tub, poolside bar and a giant BBQ for refuelling after a day catching waves Image
📌Cider Barn, Devon

Don’t trust the Great British Summer to provide suitable rays? We don't blame you. This stunning indoor pool is surrounded by glass, with views out over the countryside. And if the sun does shine, the beaches of Salcombe and Slapton are a quick drive away Image
📌The Sanctuary, Kent

Picture a grand beamed-exterior home in a leafy part of Kent. This is it and more. On fair-weather days, there are huge gardens, a patio for BBQs, and a sizable pool for splashing around in, plus a pool house with garden games (including pool, actually) Image
📌The Farm Camp, Wiltshire

Like the idea of going all Famous Five and sleeping under canvas but don’t want to totally rough it? These off-grid bell tents in a patch of peaceful woodland have compost loos, firepits and… an indoor, heated swimming pool. The dream Image
📌60s Poolhouse, Gloucestershire

Cotswolds village, or California hills? This glass, timber and stone holiday cottage was built in the '60s and features a private swimming pool and generous poolside area for sunset cocktails and lazy afternoons Image
📌Apple Barn, Somerset

Not only does this rustic Somerset barn have a private hot tub and sauna, but it also features an enormous pool. Located near Glastonbury, you'll have stunning countryside walks at your doorstep, plus three excellent pubs nearby Image
📌Linea, Devon

Like your holz to look like they’re straight out of an architecture mag? Linea is the one. Set in a dramatic spot above the Atlantic in north Devon, this dreamy rental which sleeps 10 boasts a super-stylish vibe and the kind of infinity pool people fly to Bali for Image
📌The Barn, Clwyd

You get bumper views from this cute little cottage on the Welsh-English border. It looks out over miles of verdant countryside – plus the pool just beyond the front door. Heated from June until August, the pool sits in three acres of private garden Image
📌Picture Postcard Cottage, Norfolk

An idyllic English cottage within daytripping distance of the north Norfolk coastline, this rental comes with its own private, heated swimming pool framed by neat decking. On a sunny day, you’ll have a hard time believing you’re not on the Med Image

London is perhaps the perfect pub city. There’s a boozer for almost every kind of person. We’ve tried and tested inns, taverns and pubs across the city to bring you a list of the very finest.

Welcome to London’s Top 50 Pubs 🍻

🍻10. The Ivy House

A wonderful place to take your main (or future) squeeze, @ivyhousenunhead has comfortable furnishings, private booths and Moth Club-esque stage
🍻9. The Salisbury Hotel

A grand Victorian gin palace of some repute, The Salisbury is massive. There’s a hidden ballroom that hosts regular swing-dance nights and comedy shows, but it also has a cosy energy despite its size

🔴TW: Suicide, depression

An unimaginable tragedy hit west London five years ago when Grenfell Tower caught fire. Against that terrible backdrop, these five men and women have achieved amazing things. Here are their stories 👇

timeout.com/london/things-…
🥊Heavyweight boxer David Adeleye used to train at a gym in Grenfell Tower. In 2019, he turned pro and, eight fights in, he remains undefeated
'I knew people who lived in Grenfell – we’re all connected. We lost Tony in the fire: he was the father of three boys who trained with us, and a big part of the gym. He used to come on trips with us, make sure all the kids were being looked after'

‘No Time to Die’ star Ana de Armas is going from Bond to Blonde 📽️

timeout.com/news/blonde-ev…
Netflix’s new Marilyn Monroe movie Blonde has been slapped with an NC-17 rating, or an 18 in UK terms, for sexually explicit content, making it the first release on the streamer to be given the adult-only certification
Monroe’s on-screen depictions have typically been fairly chaste (see Michelle Williams in My Week With Marilyn), but the bombshell really goes off in Blonde, which is sure to drive clicks and generate headlines in the run-up to its debut in the world’s living rooms

The RMT union has announced industrial action on June 21, 23 and 25 ❌

timeout.com/london/news/ho…
In another massive blow for London’s endlessly suffering commuters, rail union the RMT has announced three days of train strikes for the capital, on Tuesday June 21, Thursday June 23 and Saturday June 25. Weird days to choose, you might think
Well, in the spirit of the recent threat to disrupt the Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations, these days have not been chosen at random, but to coincide with people travelling to Glastonbury Festival and to an England v New Zealand test match

There are only 13 shelters left in the capital 💚

timeout.com/london/news/tw…
Have you ever spotted a small green hut while walking through the city and wondered what it’s all about? These curious little sheds are rare pieces of London history that have survived against the odds
Cabmen’s shelters were first built in the nineteenth century to stop cabbies from getting pissed on the job. Back then the capital’s cabbies drove horse-drawn carriages which meant that while the customer got a seat inside the carriage, the drivers were exposed to the elements Image

Central London has been taken over by ubiquitous candy and souvenir shops.

@ChiaraWilkinson investigates what's actually going on 👇

timeout.com/london/news/re…
A trip to Oxford Street used to mean getting a blow-dry at the big Topshop, drenching yourself in House of Fraser sample perfume, then CD-browsing in HMV. Not anymore. The once-leading shopping destination is now home to a mish-mash of American candy stores and souvenir shops
Even the iconic His Master’s Voice sign has been covered up and transformed into Candy World. Windows are filled with stacks of Cheetos, super-size Oreos and Jolly Ranchers, while Capital FM blasts obnoxiously into the street
