LONDON -- As September clings desperately to the last vestiges of summer,Sport Archives Uber has taken a gamble on the British weather to open a pop-up pool to punt -- you guessed it -- its uberPool car-sharing service.
Next week, the cab app provider will take advantage of Brits' willingness to strip down at the merest hint of sunshine by offering a chance to book a space for an outdoor splash.
The pool will be located in the somewhat exposed roadside bit between shipping-crate shopping mall BoxPark and Shoreditch station. But the area has never been short on exhibitionism.
