Later (sometime) [broad] we are going to the movies
I work until 5PM, afterwards (refers to a more precise point in time) we are going to the movies

Gracias Bob, I wanted to know if in England definitely later is not used at all.

After to know every this about the use of the word despues. I believe that, I'm going to turn to use the word afterwards it sound much better than the other one.
