The King has visited the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) in London, the largest Polish centre in Europe.
King Charles was in Hammersmith made the trip just days after returning from his historic visit to Krakow. His Majesty was all smiles as he was welcomed to the centre by POSK Chairman Marcin Kalinowski and Polish Ambassador Piotr Wilczek.

Known for his love of art, The King fittingly was able to see a new POSK art exhibition featuring some of the works of Felix Fabian, a Polish artist.
His Majesty also attended a reception at the centre where he met different Polish community members. In addition to meeting two Polish veterans of the Second World War, he spent time chatting with Polish folk-dancers, traditional crafters, and other members of the community.
POSK was first established in 1964 by Polish exiles as a way to rebuild their community and share their culture. The centre now includes a library, a theatre, a restaurant, an art gallery, and several community meeting spaces. It is open to anyone of any nationality and hosts several events open to the public.
