‘Weather schmeather’ say the people behind Rooftop Film Club. Stratford and Peckham’s rooftop cinema institutions are firing up the projectors early this year – Peckham’s Bussey Building screen opens on April 10, and Roof East in Stratford from April 17 – and they’re employing a secret weapon against a bit of chilly night air this spring: snuggle power. Two-person ‘fireside loveseats’ come with a personal wood-fired heater and hot beverage (regular, snuggle-free seating is available). On the programme are recent hits like ‘Wicked’, ‘Nosferatu’, ‘Anora’ and ‘Moana 2’, as well as evergreen classics (‘La La Land’, ‘Notting Hill’, ‘10 Things I Hate About You’, ‘When Harry Met Sally’…), and a ‘Friends’ watch party. Tickets come in at £18 for adults and £8 for children, and there’s a 20 percent discount if you book before the end of March.
Summer is here and the sun is shining down on a variety of outdoor cinema options, as Londoners look for a suitably al fresco spot to catch a movie over the next few months. And the choices are wide-ranging and varied: from the rooftops of Peckham and Stratford, to the banks of the Regent’s Canal in King’s Cross and the banks of the Thames at London Bridge. Expect to catch Wicked, Gladiator II, Dune: Part Two, Inside Out 2 and other crowdpleasing blockbusters and evergreen classics. Here’s where to look – including a few free outdoor options.
