Boasting eleven new restaurants Broadgate Circle – London’s newest dining hub – is already hot news this summer. To top it off, Broadgate City of London has recently launched ‘Summer Live’ – an exciting series of action packed events.

London Contemporary Theatre – Wind in the Willows and Twelfth Night

This August, London Contemporary Theatre has the answer to those hazy summer Saturdays. On 15th August at 2pm and 7pm, visit Broadgate Circle to watch al fresco live performances in the round of Twelfth Night, set against the impressive backdrop of the City. Renowned for creating modern adaptations of classic performances London Contemporary Theatre’s music-led productions are a spellbinding introduction to contemporary theatre.

Silent Movies & Foodie Films

Throughout the summer Broadgate will be showing a series of open-air films on their big screen in Exchange Square. Silent movies will be aired during the week throughout August and September including Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights and Laurel and Hardy’s The Music Box. Saturdays will offer foodie films on 22nd  August and cult classic movie showings on 29th  August and 5th  September.

Stop by at 2pm for a family-friendly film such as Ratatouille or The Goonies, while 6pm screenings will see more grown-up favourites grace Exchange Square, including Chocolat and Top Gun.

Perfect Picnics

Broadgate Circle’s many vibrant restaurants will offer the perfect picnic solution, with dishes designed to go and enjoy al fresco. From regional bites at Comptoir Libanais, Jose Pizarro and Shoryu Ramen to light bites from Aubaine and Beany Green, or seasonal sandwiches from Street Kitchen.
