For over 150 years, Polish people have been arriving on British shores, and either temporarily or permanently made Waltham Forest their home.
Some fled war, persecution and poverty; others came for work, love or friendship.
Through 15 individual stories, spanning four migratory waves, From Poland to Waltham Forest illustrates how Polish people have shaped the community we know today.
Films from this series include...
