A local tour guide will be hosting a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock this month.

Gary Lewis, who runs Hitchcock Talks & Tours in Leytonstone, will be giving a talk at The Castle Cinema in Hackney on 11 and 13 August, which would have been the iconic director’s 125th birthday.

“We will be celebrating Alfred Hitchcock’s 125th birthday with a screening of North by Northwest in a cinema only a few miles away from where Hitchcock began his movie career in 1925, at the Gainsborough film studios,” said Gary, who leads regular tours in Leytonstone, where Hitchock was born on 13 August 1899.

The film screening will be followed by a Q&A session, along with birthday cake.


The event will take place at The Castle Cinema, 66 Brooksby’s Walk, Hackney, E9 6DA.
11 August, 1.45pm / 13 August, 8.30pm
Tickets: £13; children: £8
