The laws of physics dictate that what goes up, must come down. Even when it feels as if our feet are a million miles off the ground. But when we’ve hit rock bottom we hope that some way, some how, our fortunes will change. That a great force will reverse the trend. Life is filled with high rollers. Some people choose to bet on themselves. While others are happy to bet on someone else. But luck is a funny thing.

Everyman on the Canal

Watch movies by the water at Everyman’s perennially popular pop-up on the Regent’s Canal at King’s Cross. Crowds will flock to these canal-side steps, rain or shine, between June 30 and August 17, for a free line-up of flicks including Breakfast at Tiffany's, Grease, Parent Trap, Top Gun: Maverick, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Encanto.

This year, Everyman has also called on designer and ‘architect of joy’ Yinka Ilori to create a screen design that echoes ‘the fantastical landscapes’ explored in Disney movies. Which should make the setting even more Instagrammable. Walk-ins are welcome, but be sure to arrive early to secure a spot.
