Outdoor cinema in London
The best places to see open-air movies in the capital this summer
London’s notorious temperamental and unexpected weather doesn’t necessarily conjure images of people luxuriating on a warm evening enjoying outdoor cinema. Usually, even in the summer months, we’re battered with rain and wind, making any sort of outside activity from festivals to fêtes an umbrella-essential excursion.
When we are gifted with some good weather over the summer, it’s worth taking full advantage off. And on a balmy London evening, nothing beats watching a movie under the stars. Whether you want to watch ‘The Meg’ by a giant outdoor swimming pool, catch a romcom in a gorgeous Royal Park or palace, or a family-friendly flick in Leicester Square, add outdoor cinema to your fair-weather bucket list.
