With an increase in visitors to London and the improved weather, the calendar of outdoor theatre and cinema events increases during the summer months. When staying with us in London Bloomsbury, near the West End, or in King’s Cross, you’ll find there are plenty of great summer theatre options on offer. Let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to in London this summer.

 

Regent’s Park Outdoor Theatre

Regent’s Park is one of our favourite green spaces in London, but many people don’t know it’s home to a very popular outdoor theatre. This summer, you can enjoy seeing Twelfth Night, The Secret Garden and Fiddler on the Roof in this beautiful setting. When staying at our King’s Cross hotel, you can enjoy visiting here for the day and combining it with a trip to the London Zoo which is located nearby.

 

Rooftop Film Club

Rooftop Film Club has a couple of locations in the city and offers a unique experience of watching a movie while overlooking the city from up high. They have a selection of iconic movies this summer and you can dine on a variety of food and drink while enjoying your film. It’s perfect for a date night or catching up with friends in the summer months.

 

National Theatre River Stage 2024

When staying in one of our hotels near London Bloomsbury or the West End, you can head over to the South Bank to enjoy free shows at the River Stage. This is a collaboration with the National Theatre and welcomes performances from Rambert and The Glory. During four weekends in July, you can experience live music, dance performances, workshops for the whole family and club nights. It’s the perfect way to make the most of a summer evening in London while immersing yourself in the cultural scene here.

 

Shakespeare’s Globe

Speaking of outdoor theatres, you can’t forget Shakespeare’s Globe. Theatre lovers will be wowed by the historical significance of this building. We highly recommend booking one of their tours to learn more about the building and the history behind it. You’ll also find a selection of plays performed here throughout the year.

 

West End Shows for Summer 2024

This summer, we see some exciting new additions to the London West End theatre scene. Heathers The Musical, Mean Girls, Kiss Me, Kate, and Starlight Express are all coming soon to theatres around London. Make sure you book in advance for these new shows, as we expect them to be very popular in their first few weeks of performances.

 

There’s so much to look forward to this summer when it comes to theatre and cinema performances in London. We encourage you to research the shows that are on during your stay in the city. To make the most of your next London stay, choose one of our central London hotels in King’s Cross, the West End, and London Bloomsbury. They’ll all be close to local transportation and theatres, so you’ll be able to enjoy immersing yourself in the London arts scene during your visit.
