"The Polish Social and Cultural Association building in Hammersmith has been a fixture of the London Polish diaspora since the 1970s, hosting film screenings, theatre, music, and a large Polish-language library. It also has two restaurants open to the public (a third, upstairs, is members only). Łowiczanka sports white tablecloths and folded napkins, and pricing a shade higher than further-flung options, but the quality is there. Cafe Maja, facing the street on the ground floor, is both cheap and cheerful, with limited menu of cutlets, stews, and soups (and a full range of pierogi). There are usually a crowd of children around the cake and pastry display, they have the right idea." - Stephen Buranyi
