More than 250 residents rallied together with local police in Acton to boost relations and celebrate Polish Constitution Day.
Food stalls, face painting, quizzes, an education stall on Polish history and live music were just some of the delights on offer outside and inside St Marys Church Hall on Tuesday (May 3).
The day, called Majówka 2016, came after an investment from the Ealing Safer Neighbourhood Board, to local police, in a bid to boost community engagement.
Dr Suzanne Tanswell, chair of Southfield Neirghbourhood Watch, who campaigned for local involvement and helped on the day, said: "The word engagement was represented in the most wonderful way.
"The message was the police are there to help the community was exemplified in reaching out to the little one's and adults.
"They (police) are there for everyone. It promoted the concept as citizenship and engagement."
Police said bringing the Polish community, who made up the majority of those in attendance from 4pm, was a top priority as it fell in line with the Polish Constitution Day.
The Polish Constitution Day is a public holiday that celebrates the declaration of the Constitution of May 3 1791 - a series of political reforms.
The drop-in community day also drew support from local businesses, local churches, local schools and help from the local Southfield Neighbourhood Watch.
Acting Sgt Carl Massey led the day with Safer Neighbourhood Ward Panels, Ealing Council, Inspector Graham Durn and vice-chairman of Ealing Safer Neighbourhood Board, Chris Carrington.
The day also drew attendance from consular Renata Wasilewska-Mazur, who had been sent from the embassy of Poland in London.
The homeless were also provided with hot food on the day as well as help from social services the council's liaison and helpers.
Sgt Massey said: "This was a really positive event in which the Polish community, The Metropolitan Police and the London Borough of Ealing, supported by local business came together to celebrate the Anniversary of the National Constitution of Poland.
"The event was a great success and we hope that it will build on the positive relationship between the Polish community and the Police.
"There were lot's of activities for adults and children alike such as a mock crime scene, face painting, traditional Polish food and music.
"I would like to thank the Ealing Safer Neighbourhood Board for providing the funding and the opportunity to run this community engagement event".
