How can you not love May? With morning sunshine, longer days, warm evenings and two bank holiday weekends to look forward to, it’ the best month to enjoy London! If you’re still looking for ideas on how to plan your evenings out, why not add a couple of films to your schedule?

Get your picnic blanket from the storage, grab a bottle of wine from the closest off-licence and be sure to attend a couple of the outdoor screenings which are part of May’s Free Film Festivals. Check out our favourites in New Cross and Herne Hill! There are some really cool venues in the list!

As per the usual, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films are free entry (double check just to make sure), but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance – so you better hurry!
