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.

Do not miss visiting this museum. Excellent two hour guided tour with knowledgeable volunteer guide on Tuesday afternoons from 2pm till 4pm.

It is opened on just specific days of the week so make sure that you plan your trip accordingly. In general a very nice exibition, small but to the point. Highly recomeneded

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place full of historical memorabilia from the times of the Second World War saturated with the spirit of the past years in the stories of the volunteer guide. Props in the form of uniforms, decorations of, for example, Gen. Bora Komorowski, desks of General Anders and General Sikorski, residues and exhibits after the actions of Polish troops in exile. A patriotic place and enriching our history. A mandatory visit for every Pole. (Original) Fantastyczne miejsce pełne historycznych pamiątek z czasów 2 wojny nasycone duchem minionych lat w opowiadaniach wolontariusza przewodnika. Rekwizyty w postaci mundurów, odznaczeń np. Gen. Bora Komorowskiego, biurka gen. Andersa i gen. Sikorskiego pozostałości i eksponaty po działaniach polskich wojsk na obczyźnie. Miejsce patriotyczne i wzbogacając naszą historię. Obowiazkowa wizyta dla kazdego Polaka.

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.

(Translated by Google) The Sikorski Institute is one of those places where every Pole should go. It contains a piece of Polish history and a guide, Mr. Chriss Nowakowski will be always happy to show everyone and with many curiosities will bring closer the wartime fate of Poles (Original) Instytut Sikorskiego to jedno z tych miejsc, w które każdy polak powinien iść. Zawiera kawał histori Polski a przewodnik, Pan Chriss Nowakowski zawsze chętnie każdego oprowadzi i z wieloma ciekawostkami przybliży losy wojenne polaków

(Translated by Google) amazing, almost magical place. employees are enthusiasts, have incredible knowledge, and cordiality and culture make you feel at home there. And so is the piece of Poland in foreign countries. Museum exhibits really represent a huge piece of important Polish history. we will definitely go back there, we recommend it not only to adults, it can be a beautiful history lesson for younger Poles! (Original) niesamowite, wręcz magiczne miejsce. pracownicy to entuzjasci, posiadają niebywałą wiedzę, a serdecznosc i kultura sprawiają, że mozna sie tam poczuć jak w domu. I tak jest-taki kawałek Polski na obczyznie. Eksponaty muzealne przedstawiaja naprawde wielki kawał waznej historii Polski. na pewno bedziemy tam wracac, miejsce polecamy nie tylko doroslym, moze to byc piekna lekcja historii dla młodszych Polakow!

Place to must see. Wonderfull item. Polish history is so great. Polish People can be proud of this.

A beautiful building opposite Hyde Park containing a museum/library/archives with vast second war memorabilia of Polish troops during Second World War. On the top floor there is a portrait of an aristocratic and rather glamourosly looking lady that turned out to be Krystyna Skarbek(aka Christine Granville),allegedly Churchill's favourite spy and an inspiration for Ian's Fleming Vesper character in James Bond novel.

(Translated by Google) Great place and guide. History is not only important for Poles. (Original) Wspaniałe miejsce i przewodnik. Historia nie tylko ważna dla Polaków.

Nice place

Incredible place with incredible people!

Great!!

last month I visited this amazing place in London. I had planned to spend an hour there but I stayed there almost 2 hours... the volunteer who explained the place to us was passionate... I came out admiring and grateful that such a place exists. it deserves to be better known and to be visit as Its a charity..

Fantastic gem in London not many people know about. I had the pleasure of a guided viewing and got a great tour of all the artefacts they house. Will surely be back!

Fantastic museum for anyone interested in the history of Poland. Run by an excellent tour guide who's deeply passionate about what he does. Cannot recommend enough.

I spent a lovely afternoon in this small, privately run museum. Andrzej our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I gained a broader perspective on Polish history, especially military. Some interesting artefacts.

(Translated by Google) I lived in Oxford several times, I even went to classes next door at the Imperial College of London and made an appointment with friends from Tuszów Narodowy, the place where general Władysław Sikorski was born, and he will also add photos so that you can imagine his family home. But we'll be back when it is> 1 million on the account. Tuszów Narodowy is near Mielec in Podkarpacie and there is also a museum there. The best thing about it is that next to it there is a production of black Hawks where the company that does it is called Sikorsky (Original) Mieszkałem w Oxfordzie kilka razy się wybieralem nawet miałem zajęcia obok w Imperial College of London i umówiłem się z przyjaciółmi z Tuszowa Narodowego czyli miejsca gdzie urodził sie generał Władysław Sikorski dołoże zdjęcia także abyście mogli sobie wyobrazić jego dom rodzinny. Ale wrócimy tam jak juz będzie > 1 mln na koncie. Tuszów Narodowy jest koło Mielca na Podkarpaciu jest tam także muzeum. Najlepsze w tym jest to ze obok jest produkcja black Hawks gdzie firma która to wykonuje nazywa się właśnie Sikorsky

Polish war museum. Well worth will a visit. Archives are especially valuable for research of military and family history pertaining to WWII.

Excellent little museum, lots of authentic pieces and tour guide of highest degree

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!

(Original) Polska wyspa w centrum Londynu. Ciekawe zbiory i ludzie, którzy zwykle znajdę czas by obszerniej o nich opowiedzieć No a archiwum to dla historyka XX wieku często punkt obowiązkowy.

I went to do some personal research, having booked with an archivist the day before. The institute was closed to the public. Staff were very helpful and had the documents ready for me to study. A fascinating place with some wonderful paintings and artefacts. I’m going to visit again when it is open!

So interesting for me as Father served under Sikorski and Uncle at Monte Casino. Learnt lots of information and hope to go back to look through archives

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!

Fantastic place! The history in the building is inspiring and quite jaw-dropping. Wonderful team and amazing location.

The history of Poles in the UK is much greater than 2004. Here you can find out about their considerable contribution to the WWII allied effort and much, much more.

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!

Lovely museum, you will take a lot out of the experience of visiting it.

(Translated by Google) A wonderfully decorated museum. A piece of Polish history of the Second World War in a nutshell. Very interesting exhibits, incl. engine of the plane in which General Sikorski died, reconstructed offices of General Anders and Sikorski, banners of Polish units from the September campaign.
