Shortly after the war Sosabowski succeeded in evacuating his wife and only son from Poland.
Like many other Polish wartime officers and soldiers who were unable to return to Communist Poland he settled in West London.
He found a job as a factory worker at the CAV Electrics assembly plant in Acton.
 He died in London on 25 September 1967.
It has been suggested that until his funeral at which his rank and achievements were read out, many of his friends and workmates in England were largely unaware of his military accomplishments.
In 1969, Sosabowski's remains were returned to Poland, where he was reinterred at Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.

In The Hague, on 31 May 2006, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands awarded the Military Order of William to the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade.
The brigade's commander, Sosabowski, was posthumously awarded the "Bronze Lion".
In part this was the result of a Dutch TV documentary depicting the brigade as having played a far more significant role in Market Garden than had been hitherto acknowledged.
In this film by Geertjan Lassche, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands said the Poles deserved to be honoured with at least a medal.

The following day, on 1 June, a ceremony was held at Driel, the town where the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade fought.
Among the speakers at the ceremony were the mayor of Overbetuwe, as well as Sosabowski's grandson and great-grandson.

In the summer of 2012 1st Airborne Major Tony Hibbert made a video appeal for Sosabowski to be pardoned and honoured.

His bust was unveiled on 1 September 2013 in Kraków's Jordan Park.
Sosabowski is one of many Polish historical figures honoured in the Park.
