Hyde Park Picture House Visit the Dalston Roof Terrace instead. Upcycling is the name of the game here, with old deck chairs, reclaimed benches and vintage pouffes arranged in rows in front of a large wall-mounted projector screen. More than your average garden furniture, this place makes a nice change. A regular haunt for movie buffs and art house aficionados, it’s a great way to make the most of those rare few rays of sunshine whilst enjoying a cracking film, picked from Sundance’s best .

nd it’s not just London where you’ll find your fix of good films. Hop the border across to Scotland, head down to
Edinburgh’s Grassmarket just off of Nicholson St and pay a visit to Brass Monkey. This eclectic venue has a back room packed wall-to-wall with mattresses and cushions making it the perfect choice for those of you who can’t think of anything better than a mid-afternoon doze in front of their wide screen projector.

’s also worth taking a look at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds – one of the oldest purpose built cinemas in the UK that first opened on the 7th November 1914. It still
has the original gas lamps and Edwardian circle balcony, so you can spend just as much time peering down at the other movie-goers as you can watching the film itself.

STRAND TV entertainment unit MISTRAL NEST OF TABLES
S
ometimes nothing beats just kicking back and making the most of not having to squabble over the remote, and what better way to do that than by creating your own oasis of movie heaven? Once you’ve found yourself a centrepiece TV (something big enough to give you a full screen experience whilst still looking in proportion to the room) mounted on the suitably robust Hygena Strand TV entertainment unit (with all your DVDs and Blu-rays piled up inside) you’re good to go. Add to that a few decent arm chairs (a more flexible use of space if you’re short of it) and a Hygena coffee table to rest your feet on – an item that can helpfully double up as extra storage for those ever-wandering remotes. All that’s left to include are a few Hygena Mistral nest tables so that your dips, chips and popcorn are never far out of reach. Now watch the next six hours slide by at a rate of knots.
