Top 10 reasons to visit The Photography &Video Show 2025

Nikon stage at The Photography & Video Show.

This festival of all things still and moving images runs for four days at the ExCeL exhibition center at London’s Royal Victoria Dock. Organizer Future Publishing (Digital Camera World’s parent company) has been working flat out to make the show an unmissable one and you can get a flavor of what to see below.

In fact, there’s so much to enjoy that a multi-day ticket makes sense (one- to four-day tickets are available). And getting to ExCeL couldn’t be easier, as Custom House station, on the Elizabeth Line and DLR, serves one of the venue’s main pedestrian entrances.
