By Manolis Zografakis

There are a lot of great free things to do in London this coming weekend 4-6 September. On Friday, don’t miss the opening night of the popular Portobello Film festival that showcases independent films and video mostly from British filmmakers. If Notting Hill is a bit far for you, head to the More London outdoor amphitheatre near City Hall to watch the classic Ghostbusters on the big screen (seating is allocated on a first come basis, so try to go early). Moreover, on Sunday the circus comes to the Chrisp Street Festival and the DIY Art Market to EPIC Dalston. Finally, there is the Greenwich Vintage Fair at Cutty Sark Gardens where you can find some awesome vintage gems. If our top 5 isn’t enough for you have a look at the Top 10 Free events this month and the free film screenings in September.
