From Poland to Waltham Forest has been over two years in the making. Our team of volunteers have searched through archives across London, trawled through census data and interviewed people across the borough. The results of their labour are the stories you find on this website.

If after browsing this site you’re still keen to learn more, a report with the full detail of our research findings will be launched in June 2015. The report is free and available on a first come, first served basis. To pre-order your copy, sign up today.
