Secret Cinema Competition: Winner And Best Entries
Yesterday we asked you to nominate the best place in London to screen a film, and the movie that should be shown there. We had plenty of entries through the twitter hashtag #sccomp and the comments thread. But our choice for the winning suggestion is this:
Memphis Belle at Biggin Hill airport, followed by a huge 1940s party
Good film, non-obvious location and we love the idea of a 40's bash. Congratulations to @Peanut1983 who wins two tickets to this weekend's Secret Cinema, when a mystery film will be shown at a mystery location.
Some of the other good suggestions we had (too many to list them all):
The Queen, at Buckingham Palace (@alexandrapullin)
