Time Out No. #55 | Tuesday 20 April 2021

Yes, we know, everyone and their mother is currently trying to secure a table, bench, perch or cranny at a restaurant or pub. Do not be discouraged. It is still very, very possible to get a table, you just need to know where to look. And hey, if our mega list of outdoor restos still yields no results try our ever-growing directory of great London pubs with outdoor space reserved for walk-ups.

Time Out asks:

Show us your beautiful weekend pints please

'The Roebuck on Richmond Hill 🙏'

'Me getting actual chills from my first pint'

It’s still a little while until most of the larger galleries open to the public. You can read about some of the biggies on the imminent horizon here. In the meantime, we’ve rounded up the best art available to see at spaces like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth and White Cube. Think of these shows as nourishing snacks to tide you over before the artistic feasting truly begins in May.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘cinema’? Queueing for popped corn? Michael Bay’s game-changing Transformers saga? The Marble Arch Odeon that was somehow both hideous and beautiful? Well, what if we told you a cinema could be anything? It doesn’t even need a ceiling! Our editors across the world all contributed to this big list of the world’s 40 greatest outdoor cinemas. Don’t usually get to say this phrase: the one in Kosovo looks fucking amazing.
