UK, Ireland / Religion and identity among Polish immigrants in the UK [20]
identity
I don't know a lot about the religious aspect of the Polish in UK but in terms of socialising I was amazed when I went to the bar on the first floor of the Polish Centre in Hammersmith, London. It was brilliant. It was like a time warp back to the Soviet era. The interior is fantastic. I think it truely is a cultural heritage. Being an Englishman who has visited Poland I feel the bar represented Poland very well and the Polish people in the bar were very Polish. I felt I wasn't in my own country which I really liked even though other english people might be complaining that their own culture is threatened in England itself
