Wake me up before September ends !

Free Film Screenings in London: a film for every night of this month (that’s right! every night!)
While we are still enjoying this extended summer, why not grab your blanket / jacket / other half and go see a nice film?
It is common knowledge that cinema is an expensive hobby in the center of London. But do not fret! There are workarounds and we are here to tell you. We made a calendar with our favourite free movies on offer for the rest of this month so all you have to do is choose the day, the film and enjoy it. There is one for every taste: blockbusters, animation, documentaries and musicals. So even the snobbiest is bound to find something to like!
Since evenings are still warm, the obvious choice for most of the nights is an open-air cinema, but there are few indoor choices for you who think September is the most dangerous time of the year to catch a cold – so play it safe and visit some of those nice pubs. Beer + Film; did someone talk about a winning combination? The Garrison even offers free popcorn! Be kind and buy a beer in return.
