What will you see?
The 167th edition of the Royal Photographic Society’s International Photography Exhibition covers a wide range of contemporary work. Themes include identity, family and community as well as conflict, memory, culture and environmental concerns.
The final exhibition was chosen anonymously by a guest panel. It includes work from established photographers alongside new and emerging image-makers, so the displays are not built around one familiar name or one photographic style.
Make a free Chelsea visit
Sloane Square is the nearest Underground station and the gallery is roughly a five-minute walk away. Saatchi Gallery sits beside Duke of York Square, so the area is easy to combine with a walk along King’s Road.
Only Galleries 1 and 2 are confirmed as free for this exhibition. Other exhibitions in the building may be ticketed, so check signs before entering another gallery area.
Access and practical details
The exhibition is indoors. Saatchi Gallery provides step-free access, with a lift serving its exhibition floors and accessible toilets available. Sloane Square Underground station does not have step-free access from platform to street, so check TfL’s journey planner if you need a step-free route.
