The first significant relationship of Poles with Plymouth took place during World War II, when the aftermath of the September Campaign in 1939 and the evacuation of Polish Navy, provisional base was established her; later the Southern Command of the Polish Navy. The building on Albert Road became the Polish Navy Cadet School.

Another chapter in the history of the city, where the Polish community has left, and leaves its imprint is the period of Polish accession to the European Union in April 2004. Great Britain opened its borders and a huge wave of Polish immigrants poured across the island, reaching the farthest corners
It is difficult to estimate how many Poles came to Plymouth, different sources give various data. It appears that the peak period of the wave of emigration was in 2006 when the Polish community could reach 20.000 people. In later years this percentage has been steadily declining, and indeed the national census, which will take place in 2011 precisely determine this number.
