Merchant Square outdoor cinema

This late-summer addition to the outdoor cinema scene in west London offers free waterside movies on a first-come, first-served basis. ‘Barbie’ gets things underway on August 7, with five other crowdpleasers following up on consecutive Wednesdays, including 2004’s OG ‘Mean Girls’ and hometown favourite ‘Notting Hill’. Adding to the appeal is a range of highly munchable street food options at the adjacent Merchant Square Food Markets. The movies start at 6pm. Just turn up and grab a deck chair or bean bag, or spread a blanket on the lawn, kick back and relax.
