1 Curtain Rd, EC2A 3JX
Spice World will be playing under the stars in Shoreditch
Ah, Shoreditch – a place where only the kings of cool go, a place, more specifically, aptly called the Queen of Hoxton. This venue boasts a more compact programme of films, but swaps the standard lounge seats for 'Director's Chairs', adding a special touch of Spielberg to this experience.
Refreshments are provided by the Queen of Hoxton's in-house bar. No food here, but their cocktail menu is one to be rivalled – try a Green Hornet or a Popcorn Espresso Martini to really get in the mood.
While there are fewer screenings to choose from, if love is what you're after, then look no further. This is the only place to catch Casablanca and Romeo + Juliet under the stars. But also, if a bit of spice is what you're after, seize the chance to sing along to all the best hits with a very special screening of Spice Worl.
