Summer in London is filled with bright, beautiful, and vibrant experiences – with some of the best deals available across our selection of hotels in Paddington London, endless festivals and events on offer just a stone’s throw from the best accommodation near Paddington station London, and of course the annual array of sport events and music shows.
But what do you do when your calendar’s clear and you want to sit back with a good film? Rather than flocking to the nearest dark roomed cinema with chatting teenagers and buckets of popcorn, why not try something different with one of these outdoor cinema options.
Secret Cinema
The main attraction of Secret Cinema is that its location is a secret, guests are encouraged to dress up, and the whole experience is like an immersive step into the world of the movie itself. With previous locations ranging from central London not far from the Park Avenue Inn London to the Southbank, the grounds of London’s parks, or the underground world of the financial district and city, Secret Cinema is always a highlight on the summer calendar.
Luna Cinema
A chance to step back in time and enjoy the movies as people used to, sat on an expanse of grass with a beer in hand and a picnic at your feet, Luna Cinema is an experience which offers viewers a chance to take in some of the old timeless movies – with top locations including Clapham Common, Kensington Palace, Westminster Abbey, and more.
For those staying in accommodation near Paddington Station London, there are also a selection of Luna Cinemas further afield and outside of the city, up towards Norfolk and as far North as York and the Peak District. Getting to these locations is easy by rail, allowing you to enjoy the convenience of a bed and breakfast near Paddington Station London before hopping on a train to the destination of your choice.
Backyard Cinema
Recycled sofas and wooden pallets add to the charm of Backyard Cinema, which is more of an experience than a simple trip to the movies, encouraging guests to really lose themselves in the setting of the movie with clever staging and a vibrant environment. Backyard Cinema is located in Wandsworth, making it easy to reach but far enough outside of the city centre to make your cinema date night a bit of an adventure.
Rooftop Film Club
Considered the best known outdoor cinema venture in London, rooftop film club puts pop-up cinemas on the rooftops of buildings across London – mainly focussing on areas like Shoreditch and Peckham which are vibrant, lively, and boast a vast community spirit.
If there’s one thing that all of these outdoor cinemas have in common, it’s the focus on an immersive and memorable experience, which takes the movie away from the screen and puts every guest in the heart of the fictional world.
