If you are interested in Polish WWII history this is an incredible place you must visit. This was the embassy and home of the Polish government in exile from WWII through Poland's rebirth in the 90's. Polish WWII military history is in every nook and corner here and it is a testament to the pure determination of the Polish people to fight on and never give in.

An absolutely incredible place. Jaw dropping. The history, determination and valour is palpable.
It's somewhere anyone should visit if they want to learn about Polish military history and their part in Poland's struggle to survive, and their campaigns across Europe and Africa.
Unfortunately this place is open only on the first Saturday (?) of the month, but it's probably best to check before going.
They're staffed by volunteers.
If you want to know who Poles really are, come and visit. My tour took two hours. Tours are available in English, and obviously in Polish.

Superb slbeit small museum, dedicated almost entirely to the Polish military forces of WW2. Lovely surroundings and very knowledgeable volunteer guides who show you around, providing facts and details along the way. Free, but check opening times. My visit was long overdue. Highly recommended!

It’s a great place to visit if you want to learn more about Poland and it’s history. If someone in your family is Polish and was in the United Kingdom diluting Second World War there is high chance that you might find something about him. Although try to contact the Institute in advance!

Incredible compact museum but full of miscellanious artifacts depicting the history of Poland in WW2. You can find a lot information about PRC - Polish Resettlement Corps in museum and archives. P.S. Wojtek the bear story is hilarious!
