When Poland entered the European Union in 2004, the ethnic composition of Great Britain experienced a rather sudden change. The large number of immigrants from Poland made Polish immigrants a key ethnic group in Great Britain within a few years after enlargement Poland to the European Union.The purpose of the paper is to describe the principal areas of concentration of Polish immigrants in Great Britain as well as to describe the key factors determining the distribution of Polish immigrants. The paper is based on data obtained from British population registries and survey data collected in London in 2010. Research has shown that most Polish immigrants have settled in major cities, with London being the main concentration area. The main reason for this distribution is the presence of migration networks in major cities and more job opportunities as well.

The number of migrants who are presenting to homeless services in European countries has grown recently, in particular following the expansion of the European Union in 2004 and 2007. Migrants often face legal barriers in access to accommodation and welfare assistance, many have limited financial resources and are vulnerable to unemployment, all of which puts them at a higher risk of homelessness. Even though Brussels and Amsterdam are territorially and culturally close, Polish migrants experience rooflessness there differently. Their different coping strategies and experiences may be attributed to distinctive migration patterns, position in the labour market, but also to the local context: accessibility of low-threshold services, municipal regulations concerning behaviour in public spaces or police practices.
