It is interesting that the picture of the "Polish Store in London" meant to illustrate that Polish is the second most spoken language in England, has no large Polish writing ( or any Polish that I can see ) on the store front.

Any store in the United States that was serving a literate native speaking ethnic population, such a s Korean, would be covered by words written in the Korean language.

Of course, it may be nothing more than a lazy photographer or editor that did not want to drive to a store that truly served native Polish speakers in England.
