Iconic venue Alexandra Palace is hosting a brand new season of cinematic events harking back to 1950s nostalgia.
Opening last night with a screening of 1985 cult favourite Back to the Future, the 'Drive-In Film Club' is giving Londoners the chance to catch their favourite films from the comfort of their own cars.
The series of screenings, being held by Experience Cinema, will run until March 27 and will include film classics such as Grease, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing and Pulp Fiction.
Ticket-holders will be asked to drive to the historic north London venue and will be shown to allocated parking spaces in front of a big screen. They will then be instructed to tune their car radios into a special frequency which will enable them to listen to the film’s audio.
Roller skating cinema staff will also be on hand to serve snacks through car windows.
Explaining the idea, Drive-In Film Club co-founder Gerry Cottle Jnr said he thinks Londoners have become disillusioned with high street multiplex cinemas.
“Drive-In Film Club is about taking our guests back to a time when catching the latest movie was a social occasion and one to be savoured with your nearest and dearest," he explained.
"Alexandra Palace has allowed us the freedom to build a genuine haven of 1950s Americana in the glow of one of London’s most iconic landmarks.”
