Where, in the UK, is the most Polish?

Hi there

I understand that some towns in the UK have almost completely been taken over by Poles, at least this is what I've heard. That these towns have many Polish facilities including schools.

This interests me as, if I were to return to the UK, I'd like to live in such an area (even thought I'm not a Pole myself).

Can anyone name some such towns?

Thanks!

You will never know where Poles live in UK and how many of them still live there.
There are only 4-6 or max 9 PF contributors posting here about the subject
Most of them are Brits, just a few ( I mean 1-2 ) are actually Poles who bother to comment here

Hm. I guess if I went to BNP forums I might get more info ;)

Not off the top of my head but if you want to return to a city you'll find that most big cities have areas that are mostly Polish like in my city.

If I were you I'd decide on which part of the UK you want to return to and then research further from there. :)


Yes, exaggerated info. ;)

Not true. Even places like Peterhead that had a glut of cheap Polish labour to work in horrible fish industries still didn't become Polish - in fact, I'm not even sure that there is 1 Polish state school at all in the UK.

Poles haven't done what the Asian communities have and almost taken over some areas - they integrated much, much quicker.

You want live among Poles? Why bother with UK, come to Poland or ... Chicago ;-)

For goodness sake where do you get your info?
What total rubbish.
Most UK towns have a Polish community yes.

Have you read his other posts? The guys a complete knob.


Lmao.


Lmao it gets better.


Please don't!

As you might expect, London. Outside of London, probably Leeds in relative terms.

Pollock?

You mean part of Glasgow? I have to disappoint you. Contrary to its name it's Asian turf.

As someone said earlier in the thread. The Poles tend to actually integrate rather than segregate themselves with the UK.

Some do, most dont. Im not being offensive when I say that, its the truth, I dont think they're here to make friends, its about earning some cash (for most).


lol...


Weirdo!


Seconded!

But they do integrate rather than forming communities - you'll find Poles all over the place, as opposed to certain areas being 'Polish'.

In general Delph, the kind of Poles that come to the UK do so to earn money (not all), they generally stick to their own Polish friends (not all), therefore they do not integrate in the full sense of the word, besides, there are areas in Manchester that are 'very' Polish, this isnt a problem, I couldnt care less. As for them not forming Polish communities, that was a joke right? There's the Polish Circle club on Cheetham Hill Road which has been there since Adam was a lad, why do you think that is? Possibly because there was a "Polish" community? There's also a Polish church in South Manchester (again been there since Adam was a lad), why do you think that is? Possibly a Polish community?

There's nothing wrong with it, they dont ghettoise areas, they simply tend to migrate to areas where they are in numbers.

Folkestone in Kent has quite a large Polish community, some lovely Polish shops too. I met my soon to be Polish wife there! She (lucky for me) dragged me back to Poland though............ Most of mine and her Polish friends have now moved back to Poland, all in all it was not a great expierence for them. (but that's another thread, for another day)

There's a bit of both going on really. In Edinburgh there are areas which are predominately Polish but the people who live there work outside the Polish community most of the time.

Once to avoid competition on labour market I did research, which towns in the UK have smallest Polish community and I remember that Peterborough was the No 1 Polish town.
