Polish War Memorial
Note:- Due to high picture content this page may take a little time to load.
Perhaps one of Ruislip's best known landmarks and yet seemingly with no official page on the internet.
The Polish War Memorial is situated on 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.
