Welcome to London Independent Photography'’s 26th Annual Exhibition! Each year this is the highlight of our group's calendar - a must-see event for anyone interested and involved with photography in London.

This year we received approximately 600 submissions from 122 LIP members, with about 100 images accepted for exhibition from 51 photographers. The prints were selected by Stuart Franklin, Sophy Rickett and Bill Jackson, and showcase the diversity and breadth of talent within our group. The impartial selection process is key to the exhibition’'s success, as every LIP member has an equal chance to exhibit.

EMBASSY TEA GALLERY is owned by Artists Studio Company Limited (ASC), a major registered charity that exists to support visual artists, promote art and educate the public in the arts.
