Launched in partnership with City Cruises, Movies on the River will run for five nights a week, from Tuesday to Saturday in June and July, starting with a launch-night screening of Jaws on 15 June.

Movies will include London-themed favourites including Mary Poppins and Notting Hill, 'watery' classics including Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid and romantic favourites old and new, including When Harry Met Sally and La La Land.
