A little research into rooftop cinemas brought up the Rooftop Film Club. This 'club' has several venues in and around London where you can watch both old and new films from the comfort of deckchairs on some high rooftops around the city with amazing views. The Bussey Building in Peckham seemed the most accessible for me, mainly in terms of public transport links and also due to the timings of the film screenings.
So, it with a little cheesy excitement that myself, Kelly and Michael arrived at 7.30pm one night in July to watch the 80s classic, Top Gun. Before the film we were able to soak up the laid back rooftop atmosphere, enjoy some pizza and drinks and listen to a bloke playing a pretty good repertoire of songs on his guitar. At 8.30pm we were let in, wrist-banded up, purchased the obligatory share bags of sweets and chose our deckchairs! Additionally we were very pleased to have been given some lovely fleece blankets to help keep the cold old as funnily enough we we not used to sitting on a rooftop in central London of an evening.
The film was good, brought back lots of memories of seeing it the first, second and third times around and was still as hilarious in parts as ever.
Great night, fab venue and I cannot wait to return for another film.
