Wonka premiere London: Start time and how to watch Timothée Chalamet film event online

London will join in on the Wonka buzz this week as the movie premieres in the city. The new flick, which tells the story of a young Willy Wonka, will have its first screening in the capital tonight (November 28).

The chocolate maker-themed movie is set to take over central London this week as it premieres on the Southbank. The riverside spot will welcome the film's star-studded cast and fans to honour the first London screening.

Londoners will be able to celebrate the new release early ahead of its release next week. The Wonka movie will hit cinemas in the capital and across the UK on December 8.

The film's cast - including Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant and, as Wonka himself, Timothée Chalamet - are already in London as they were seen posing with a novelty-sized Wonka bar by Tower Bridge on Monday (November 27).

We break down when the Wonka movie premiere will start and how fans can watch the London festivities online.
