There is no surprise that Eastern European communities have their own London’s stories.

A tourist, a wonderer or a perspective of a bird?
There are three main ways to portrait city: from the perspective of a tourist who juxtaposes his expectations with reality, from the perspective of a wonderer who has no prior expectations about the spaces he visits and from the perspective of Icarus (or a bird), a all-embracing eye from above… The trails we enumerate in this websites take up different approaches, various jargons and styles to show the dynamism, variety and richness of Polish signs in London.
