The Polish War Memorial is situated adjacent to the roundabout on the A40 at its junction with the A4180, just on the London side of Northolt Aerodrome. The roundabout is known, unsurprisingly, as the "Polish War Memorial roundabout" and is signed as such on the A40. The memorial is here as during the second world war there were numerous Polish (and Canadian) airmen stationed at Northolt. The memorial was commissioned to commemorate Polish airmen who perished during the conflict.

  • A well deserved memorial to the brave and heroic Polish airmen who helped defend Britain in WW2. I have been told that the Polish airmen were oustanding and totally committed. Many Poles stayed in the UK after the war. In fact all the Polish airmen were given the right by King George VI to British citizenship as a gesture of thanks.
