Okay so technically about as far as you'll go for hot tub cinema will be four floors up on a rooftop in Shoreditch, but it's still worth a mention.

The summer season kicked off last week – marking its first anniversary, and films showing this month include Bridget Jones's Diary, Human Traffic and Withnail & I. But you're not there for the film – it's background noise at most. No, it's bobbing around in a plastic paddling pool with your bottle of prosecco (there's a licensed bar), splashing your fellow tubbers and trying to avoid rubbing up against your neighbour that will be the main focus of your evening.

You can buy a whole tub to share with friends or buy individual tickets (recommended) and get down and dirty with strangers, all the while peering in on the workers of 200 Bishopsgate.

A quirky, fun and not totally sober way to spend a summer's evening.
