I don’t think that in the history of wars there was an army which would fully consciously, from the very first moments of its founding, during its march through half the world and eventually during the combat action, organise and lead another, entirely different campaign (educational). In its programme, a significant meaning was ascribed to an element which always constituted an important subject for 2nd corps’ authorities – artistic education within the field of fine arts, as well as enabling, as much as wartime would allow, unhampered and individual development of artistic talents.

Kolejnym miejscem prezentacji projektu Artyści Andersa była Ambasada Rzeczpospolitej w Londynie. Spotkanie zostało zorganizowane przez Polską Fundację Kulturalną w Londynie.
Prezentacja Albumu "Artyści Andersa" odbyła się w obecności ok. 90 osób, w tym senator RP, pełnomocnika Prezesa Rady Ministrów do spraw dialogu międzynarodowego oraz córki gen. Władysława Andersa Anny Marii Anders, dyrektora Departamentu Współpracy z Polonią i Polakami za Granicą MSZ Mateusza Stąśka, a także wydawców oraz przedstawicieli Polonii w Wielkiej Brytanii.
„Cieszymy się ogromnie, że album Artyści Andersa został wydany, ponieważ niewiele osób zna tą niezwykłą grupę ludzi. Artyści towarzyszący żołnierzom nie tylko dokumentowali przebieg walk. Byli również terapeutami, pomagali swoim kolegom znieść codzienność wojny. Odgrywali więc niezwykle ważną rolę, a dzisiejsza prezentacja jest dobrą okazją, aby ich uczcić.” – powiedział Chargé d’affaires a.i. Ambasady Piotr Kobza.
Następnie głos zabrali senator Anna Maria Anders, dyrektor Stąsiek, a także przedstawiciele wydawców i partnerów albumu: prezes Polskiej Fundacji Kulturalnej w Londynie Aleksandra Podhorodecka, szef Fundacji „Towarzystwo Projektów Edukacyjnych” Paweł Zarzycki.
Prof. Jan Wiktor Sienkiewicz wygłosił wykład „Moje podróże z artystami Andersa”, w którym opowiedział o historii tworzenia książki. Wieczór uświetniła również projekcja filmu dokumentalnego Rafała Brylla „Artyści Andersa”, a także występ brytyjskiej wokalistki Katy Carr. Następnie odbyło się podpisywanie książek przez prof. Jana Wiktora Sienkiewicza.
