Naked pool party is London’s next naked thing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A few months ago, in a review of London’s first naked restaurant, I suggested someone quickly arrange a new naked thing in the city for sure-fire profit.
Sadly, I didn’t listen to my own advice, but Get Naked did, a new club night entirely themed around nudity.
It was initially supposed to launch at a small Soho bar and be a ‘small and intimate’ affair, but when a tide of people signed up, organiser Joshua Walker was forced to find a new venue.
He has now found one in none other than Club Aquarium, a cornerstone of Shoreditch nightlife known for containing a swimming pool and hot tub that only opens around 2am once everyone’s good and drunk.
Perhaps fearing a mass orgy, the event, re-christened ‘Get Wet, Get Naked’, has been changed from a nighttime thing to an all-dayer, running from midday til 5pm on 12 November.
There will also quite randomly be a buffet.
Swim shorts and swimsuits will be allowed, but obviously birthday suits are encouraged.
Walker said that the event will be aiming for a “nudist environment, not a trashy one”, and guests will be able to get made-up with body paint if they so wish, though I don’t know how this will function with the whole being-in-a-pool thing.
Get Naked takes place on 12 November at The Aquarium, Old Street. Tickets go on sale on Monday 24 October for £15.
