Big-screen evenings are coming back to the banks of the Thames this summer.

To add to the swelling range of outdoor cinema options for Londoners this summer, London Bridge’s The Scoop amphitheatre is hosting another two months of al fresco movies – and they’re entirely free for all-comers. 

Summer by the River will be creating a beachy vibe in the riverside nook. There are also sporting events on the big screen – Wimbledon and UEFA Women’s Euros – plus music, performances and family-friendly entertainment on the schedule. 

The film screenings run on Tuesdays, with evening movies starting at 7pm. Look out for a Wicked singalong on July 22. 

Here’s the line-up in full:

Despicable Me 4 – 7pm, Tues Jul 15
Moana 2  – 12.30pm, Tues Jul 22
Wicked singalong – 5pm, Tues Jul 22

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes – 7pm, Tues Jul 29
