When you are in Londontown check this out:
Crack open the vodka ... it's a pub for the Poles
dailymail.co.uk
11th August 2007
They are set to have their own university in West London - so it is
fitting that the Polish community should also have its own pub.
The Belvedere will welcome its first regulars next month, serving
specialities such as Zubrowka vodka and placki ziemniaczane (potato
fritter).
And its name will resonate with Poles. Not only is Belvedere a well-
known vodka but it is also the name of a palace in Warsaw where the
composer Chopin performed.
The local in Acton, West London, is being launched by leisure chain
Laurel.
It is thought to be the first Polish pub opened by a major UK
operator - following the hundreds of Polish-themed bars and
restaurants that have sprung up in Britain since the former
communist state joined the EU in 2004.
News of its opening comes after an announcement that a university in
the Polish city of Lodz is launching an annexe in Shepherd's Bush,
West London.
The Academy of Humanities is sending 12 lecturers.
