The article presents the activities of Poles connected with the Polish Socialist Party in the British capital at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the discussed period London was an important center where leading representatives of the PPS stayed in exile. They developed pro-independence activity there, printed considerable amounts of illegal press and pro-independence publications, obtained funds for PPS activity in the country, and established contacts with socialist circles from other parts of Europe and the world. Such figures as Witold Jodko-Narkiewicz, Bolesław Antoni Jędrzejowski, Aleksander Dębski, Stanisław Mendelson, Tytus Filipowicz, Leon Wasilewski or Stanisław Wojciechowski were associated with London for many years. Józef Piłsudski also visited the city several times, and it was in London that he based the implementation of his daring plan to create the Polish Legions in distant Japan.
