Summer might be short and sweet here, but boy, do we know how to make the most of it... by moving everything outside, including the movies. The city has no shortage of open-air film events, from classics on rooftops through to the latest releases at a park. So sit back, cuddle up and get ready to enjoy your favourite flicks with one of these London outdoor cinema pop-ups




Everyman Screen On The Canal

Located in Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross, Everyman Screen On The Canal is a brilliant outdoor cinema in London that's free to attend. They offer screenings throughout July and most of August, starting at 12pm and with a final time slot of 7:30pm. This year, they've got titles like Mamma Mia, Barbie, Bend it like Beckham and so many more, and you can nab tasty drinks and street food while you're at it.

Summer Screens At Canary Wharf

Bring along your blankets and snacks for Summer Screens at Canary Wharf, which sees Canada Square park transforming into an open-air cinema from June right through to September. They've got classic films aplenty here, from Clueless to The Dark Knight, as well as coverage of live sporting events - especially the Olympics this summer. And the best part? it's all totally free.
