Enjoy those last rays of warm sun with some kick-ass open-air festivals

If you spent last bank holiday in London, you weren’t looking forward to September. I know I did! I thought ‘Rain in the end of August’? ‘That cannot be a good sign for autumn’!
But then September is here and the weather is warm and not dreadful at all. Not only this but some cool open-air festivals pop up! More London takes place during the whole of September with blockbuster movies shown three times a week near Tower Bridge. And Free Film Festivals are back (this time in Peckham) after a summer break.
So snuggle up and get out there!
PS) As per the usual, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films have a free entrance (check brackets when it’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance.
