The 3 Best Outdoor Cinemas in London

Location is everything when it comes to producing a bucket list-worthy movie – and this summer, location is also everything when it comes to watching them. Across the capital there are relaxed, characterful venues perfect for whiling away the balmy summer evenings with a fantastic film. We pick 3 of the best places in London to watch a film alfresco…

1. Pop Up Screens

Serving up a mixture of cult movies and modern classics, Pop Up Screens are, as the name suggests, at various temporary locations across the capital. Venues this year include Denmark Hill, Russell Square, Crouch End, Greenwich, City of London and Maida Vale.

Worried about the inevitable chance of rain? These guys are prepared for the British summer and a little shower won’t stop proceedings – just check the weather and pack a brolly beforehand.  https://www.popupscreens.co.uk/

Boasting London’s largest outdoor screen, the Film4 Summer Screen returns to Somerset House for two weeks this August.
