A Polish woman on holiday in the UK has gone missing while on a coach trip.

On Monday (October 24), Irena Wawszczak left her Sinbad coach, which was travelling from Northampton to Poland, when stopped for a break at the London Gateway service station in Mill Hill.

She did not return and the coach left without her.

The 62-year-old does not speak much English though she may have been spotted as posts on social media say she has been seen in Colindale, the NW7 area and along the A1 southbound.

She was last seen wearing a dark coloured coat with a purple/pink fleece lining, which is quite distinctive, carrying a cream bag with short handles.

Irena is a slim-built white female with short black hair and black glasses.

A Facebook group has been set up to help find Irena, which can be joined here.

Police are searching for her and have asked anyone with information on her whereabouts to call 101 or their missing people line on 116000.
