Travel Photographer of the Year Exhibition

The Travel Photographer of the Year (TPOTY) exhibition at 10 Stockwell Street in Greenwich offers world-class imagery in the heart of one of London’s most famous centres of history and culture. The award-winning photographs give a beautiful, fascinating, entertaining and, at times, moving, depiction of life, cultures, wildlife and landscape all over the planet.

Open seven days a week throughout the summer, this magnificent, free-to-view exhibition is an established annual favourite. At its previous London ‘home’ the TPOTY summer exhibition received over 50,000 visitors in 2015 alone, and the move to Greenwich adds a major new attraction to an already hugely popular area of the city.

From atmospheric pictures of Louisiana wetlands, quirky portraits of pelicans off the coast of Namibia, delicate, close-up semi-abstracts of dew-covered spiders’ webs and a charming shot of a rather quizzical meerkat to insightful images of the Basotho people in Lesotho, the Kazakh wedding season in Mongolia and street life in China, the exhibited photographs cover a wide range of styles and subjects, all captured by immensely talented photographers, young and old, from around the world.

The exhibits are the latest winning shots from the international Travel Photographer of the Year awards (TPOTY), one of the world’s leading photography competitions. The 10 Stockwell Street building houses the University of Greenwich’s departments of Architecture, Landscape and Arts and won the RIBA National and RIBA London Awards in 2015. The space is flooded with natural light providing a calm, relaxed atmosphere that’s ideal for visitors of all ages.

The combination of the Travel Photographer of the Year exhibition and the world-famous attractions all just a short walk away - including the iconic sailing ship Cutty Sark, the historic town centre, the Royal Park, the superb National Maritime Museum, Queen’s House Art Gallery and the famous Greenwich Market – means that exhibition visitors will be able to enjoy a fantastic day out.

Visitors can even vote for their own favourite image, with the chance to win a trip to photograph the Northern Lights with Hurtigruten, a Halcon Traveller jacket from Páramo or leather goods from StaaG. The exhibition provides the ideal source of inspiration for potential entrants for the 2016 TPOTY awards, which are open for entry at tpoty.com.
