Waterside cinema is back in a big way this summer.

London’s picturesque canal-side cinema Everyman on the Canal has just announced its latest summer line-up. Situation on the Regent’s Canal at King’s Cross and free to attend, it launches on June 29 and runs until August 16.

This year’s six-week slate is slightly expanded from previous seasons, with live sport and community takeovers alongside a beefy list of big-screen favourites. 

The full programme, a mix of recent blockbusters, family hits and cult faves, has just been announced – and you can peruse it here in full.

Among the highlights for 2026 are F1 (Jul 10, Aug 9), Asteroid City (Jul 13), Top Gun: Maverick (Jul 19, Aug 6), Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (Jul 20), Flow (Jul 29, Aug 11), and the two new Dune movies.

And don’t sleep on a killer-looking The Ballad of Wallis Island and Barbie double-header on August 2.

All the screenings are free to attend but seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so get down early, grab a sundae and a cocktail and find a spot.
