Abstract: After the European Union expansion of 2004 the United Kingdom was a recipient of a significant number of Polish migrants. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact that Polish migrants have on the local economies in the United Kingdom. This paper explores a case study of Polish migrants who settled in London, England and has three objectives: (1) to present how localities in London have changed after the influx of Polish migrants and how those migrants influence local economies, (2) to present a voice of a selected group of Polish migrants residing in the United Kingdom, and (3) to raise questions about the future of those Polish communities in light of Brexit.
