There's a growing trend in London for pubs and bars to dabble in the world of film by transforming their venues into cinemas. Some of the city's best venues are now doing weekly or monthly movie nights to offer an alternative way of enjoying a cocktail or two. Blending basement vibes and swish seating with cult classics from independent filmmakers to Hollywood favourites, here's the best film screenings and movie nights in London.
Check out the best of the rest with cinema events and movie nights in London here.
Home to life drawing workshops, arts and craft classes, bottomless brunches and movie nights, The Exhibit is quite the all-rounder. Make your way to the South London on Thursdays spot to watch cult classics and blockbusters at the Hayman's London Dry Gin Ginema.
For some of the quirkiest film screenings around, be sure to check out The Clapham Grand - the iconic South London venue that's been around since the Victorian era. These guys host all kinds of boozy movie nights and bottomless brunches, showing iconic titles like High School Musical, Bridesmaids or Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Tickets start from as little as £10 per person, and you can expect sing-alongs, dance competitions, tasty snacks and brilliant afterparties at every single event.
Monday night was made to be movie night, so get to The Grove for a cracking spread of films every week. Kick back and start your week off with a blockbusting special complete with some lovely British nosh and craft beer or wine at this charming Victorian pub cinema.
Firmdale Hotels is a great shout if you're looking for film screenings in London. Check out films such as The Fabelmans, Puss In Boots, and Creed III while sipping on a complimentary drink. Or you can upgrade to a three-course meal and glass of fizz.
