This plaque is on the southern end of the hall. The northern end displays a large Christian cross. Crossed swords on a shield form the coat of arms of the Diocese of London, the district under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London.
The hall is on the site formerly occupied by the Church of St Saviour. Bombed in WW2 this hall must have replaced it in 1962.
With this building seems now to be part of the complex of buildings that form Christ the Saviour Church of England Primary School, connected to the main buildings by a covered walkway.
The school has a useful but it only covers 1861- 1926, with nothing about WW2 or what happened afterwards.

W5, The Grove, St Saviour's Church House car park
This cross appears in the 1952 film The Last Page/Man Bait - we were pleased that confirmed our identification of this church. The scene begins at about 1 hour in: a character hides from the police in a bombed-out church. He enters from The Grove, through the archway at St Saviour's Church House, passes by this cross (without the surrounding plants but with a church apse behind to the left. He then enters through double doors and comes out in a roofless church. Later a woman meets him there and as they talk they move around and we get to see how a lot of the walls remain standing, but little else, until the last shot of the scene which shows some Gothic-style carving on the wall behind them.
See St Saviour's Church House foundation stone for information about the church.
