Open-air cinemas are always a popular summer destination in London. After the pandemic, enjoying the 7th art under the stars is more attractive than ever. These unique open-air cinemas are ready to serve audiences again, with the latest and most exciting films on the big screen.
Luna Cinema
With Luna Cinema, viewers can explore the most beautiful locations in London after dark. Especially the cinema in the center of Regent's Park. This is a symbol of London city, formerly a theater but now used for projection. What could be more wonderful than an evening enjoying blockbuster movies on a giant screen, set on a famous award-winning stage, surrounded by picturesque trees. In addition, Luna Cinema has two other famous screening locations at the old building of the Royal Naval College and Kenwood Garden House, a hidden gem of London city.

Secret Cinema
As the name suggests, Secret Cinema will always be playing in a secret location that you will only know about at the last minute. The magical, immersive world of Secret Cinema is an exciting spot that you cannot miss on your London summer itinerary. In 2022, Secret Cinema returns in collaboration with Marvel Studios, bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy universe to life in an undisclosed location. Imagine being able to step into your favorite movie. Not only will you completely escape reality, but you will also be able to interact with the characters, discover hidden secrets and become part of the story yourself.

Rooftop Film Club
Perched atop buildings in Shoreditch and Peckham, Rooftop Film Club is perhaps London's most famous outdoor cinema, with locations in New York and Los Angeles. This summer, Rooftop Film Club offers screenings of family-friendly fare (Encanto, Harry Potter), 90s classics (10 Things I Hate About You, Mission: Impossible), and critically acclaimed recent releases (West Side Story, Licorice Pizza).

In 2022, two London locations will be opening at Charlton Gardens in Greenwich (June 24-26) and Osterley Park in Ealing (July 1-3). You can't miss Mamma Mia!, Rocket Man and many more classics.

Backyard Cinema
Backyard Cinema started as a small-scale project, with the venue made from recycled wood and old sofas. While it’s not technically an outdoor cinema, it certainly feels like one with its high ceilings and beachy setting. Best of all, the cinema often has a bar offering entertainment and street food available before the movie.
