Summer Screens At Canary Wharf

Summer Screens At Canary Wharf brings the silver screen to corporate London. From 4th June to 1st September, Canada Square Park is transforming into an amazing open-air cinema. 

As well as all kinds of incredible films, from rom-coms to Bollywood singalongs, this place is showing Wimbledon, Ascot and plenty more live sport. It gets even better - entry is free.
