Looking for Polish nationals living in the UK (London)

Hi everyone!!

I am a freelance journalist working on a project about Polish nationals living in the UK and I am looking for people to talk to about how they feel living in the UK and what their experience here has been like.

Ideally our project would ultimately be published in the Guardian and I thought I'll try to find some people to participate in it using this site.

It would be a great help if some of you could help us out!

If you were interested it would be great if you could either elaborate on the questions below or we can arrange to set up a telephone interview. The answers should ideally be relatively descriptive.

Thanks a lot for your help and I am hoping to hear back from you soon.

Best wishes,

1. How long have you been living in the UK? What year did you come to the UK?
