There are three good opportunities to see the ISS coming up in the next few days (there are others, but these are the best).
Saturday 24th September:
Rises 19:30 in the SSW, highest point at 19:32:28 in the south, elevation approx 50 degrees above the horizon at which point it'll enter the Earth's shadow so will disappear quickly. Magnitude -3.0 which is very bright.

Rises 05:19 in the NW, highest point 05:22:02 in the NE, elevation 88 degrees above the horizon (pretty much directly overhead), sets in the SE at 05:25:36. Magnitude -3.4 so extremely bright.
