The warm weather is finally here, and how better to celebrate than by watching a movie outdoors after sunset in the cool breeze of the River Thames?
Oh, and did we say that by ‘outdoors’ we mean ‘on a boat’? Movies on the River is Time Out’s very own gift to the city’s open-air screening season. For five nights a week until August, we’ll be screening a film on the top deck of a City Cruises boat on the Thames. It’s the open-air movie season to beat all others (even if we say so ourselves).
First, you’ll take a sunset cruise through the city – and, yes, there’a a bar on-board! Then the boat will dock in full view of Tower Bridge as the sun sets and the movie starts on our handy inflatable screen.
You might have seen a film once or twice outdoors before – but we bet you’ve never seen a movie on the top deck of a Thames boat with the city laid out before you in all its glory.
