Best Outdoor Cinemas in London

Discover the best outdoor cinemas in London with our guide. Enjoy this summer experience and leave behind the hustle and bustle with outdoor movie theatres now.

Open air cinema in London is fast becoming a summer classic. A chance to leave behind the hustle and bustle, outdoor movie theatres are a delightful way to make the most of the city on a warm summer evening, enjoying a picnic, and catching a movie as the sun sets.

You could gather the family for a cinematic classic, early evening with a basket of family favourite munchies, or line up a row of deckchairs for a reunion of friends and a movie you’ve not seen in a while. If it’s date night, double beanbags and a couple of blankets create a romantic getaway from it all under the stars as a rom-com − or thriller − plays on the big screen before you.

 

Summer Cinemas London

So popular is summer cinema there are now a great many places to catch a movie alfresco, but our top 3 rooftop and summer outdoor cinemas in London are the serene Sunset Screening Sessions at Beckenham Palace Park, the bijou pontoon of St Katharine Docks Floating Film Festival and the profoundly quirky Openaire Cinema, where you hop aboard a little paddle boat to watch the landlocked screen.
