Ognisko

Kensington & Hyde Park


Ognisko has been a stalwart of the Polish community in London since 1940 (it's part of the Polish Hearth Club). The grand dining room is stunning, bathed in light from tall windows and adorned with modern art and chandeliers, and the food couldn't be more authentic: try the delicious pierogi (dumplings stuffed with cheese and potatoes) or the blinis.
