The GLC could do well by taking lesson from those nifty Danes. First they introduced free-for-use bikes - the system works just like the coin-deposit supermarket shopping carts - and now, the urban beach. The ingenious CopenCabana floats on pontoons, providing 2,500 square meters (about half a football field) of white, sandy beach. Beach babes, volleyball and clean-for-swimming port water. There may even be a Lola or two. There has been 'talk' of a floating lido in London going forward for a while now, but until that time - if you want don't want to grow another head from the Thames sludge - you'll have to settle for regular lidos to get a taste of the urban beach here. Serpentine
