The last few years have shown that restaurant residencies and London pop ups go down an absolute storm; but what of pop-up cinema in London? Well, quite simply, it's bloody awesome. From big screens under the stars to rooftop film events, immersive screenings to intimate city theatres, London has some seriously good pop-up cinema game, and here are the best.

Make your way to The Clapham Gran, where you'll find some of the best cinema events on their huge screen. Whether it's High School Musical, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging or Bridesmaids, you can count on there being plenty of booze throughout, as well as nachos, hotdogs and popcorn. You'll also take part in sing-alongs, dance competitions and maybe even receive a prize for the best dressed, with a fantastic afterparty to follow.
One of Soho's most exclusive spots, The Century Club is opening its doors for a season of 100 artistic events.
Pop up cinema has a big part to play in the Century's proceedings with screenings of short films on everything from punk and politics to Ukrainian drum and bass. Sound like your vibe? Grab a cocktail from the super-chic bar and settle in for indie cinema at its finest.

Pizza and movies - the dream team. At Pizza Pilgrims Chelsea's Cinema Paradiso, you can book an exclusive private screening, complete with delicious Neapolitan pizza, comfy seats, and a movie of your choice. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, a special occasion, or just want an excuse for a fun night out, this is Chelsea's coolest way to enjoy a film.
Pick your movie from a selection of classics, choose from one of their amazing pizza packages, and sit back for an unforgettable night of cinema and carbs. Just remember - a minimum booking of 15 people required, so round up your film-loving, pizza-craving crew and make it a night to remember.
This December, Kitchen at Holmes are hosting a Secret Rooftop Festive Cinema on their outdoor terrace, showing Christmas classics like The Holiday, Elf and A Christmas Carol. You'll be wrapped up in fluffy blankets, surrounded by fairy lights and festive decorations.
That's not all though, as you'll also begin with a delicious set menu. Think crab croquettes, lamb kofta, baked parmesan gnocchi and more, with an optional glass of Champagne.
