I visited a few years ago during a trip from abroad and soon realized I hadn't budgeted enough time. I hope to go back to appreciate more. The people who helped us were great and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the stories behind the items and artifacts. Recommend 100%

Miejsce, które każdy Polak przyjeżdżający do Londynu powinien obejrzeć. Kawałek, a właściwie duży kawałek polskiej historii. Ogromne wrażenie robią pamiątki związane z II wojną światową. Dziękujemy Panu Henrykowi Opiole, wolontariuszowi, oprowadzającemu po instytucie za poświęcony nam czas i ciekawe historie. Łezka kręciła się w oku. Polecamy gorąco!!!
