Tube to celebrate 24-hour opening with pop-up cinema

To celebrate the launch of the 24-hour opening of the London tube, the Underground Film Club will host a cinema ‘pop-up’ at Charing Cross Station.

The pop-up, which will be held at the end of May, will be located at the disused station which been closed to the public since 1999.

Around-the-clock services will be extended across the Tube network and to London Overground and the Docklands Light Railway, Chancellor George Osborne and Mayor Boris Johnson announced earlier this year.

Northern, Victoria, Piccadilly, Jubilee and Central lines are expected to run all night and day on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 September.

There are several British Film Institute classics on the bill include Cinema Paradiso, Some Like it Hot, Casablanca, Blade Runner and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Gareth Powell from London Underground said: “These screenings will engage London’s many film-lovers in the possibilities that the night Tube will bring and highlight the role that the Underground plays in supporting the city’s cinema industry,”
