Dame Anna Neagle, film and stage actress, 1904 - 1986, and her husband Herbert Wilcox C.B.E., film producer and director, 1890 - 1977, lived here, 1950 - 1964. Unveiled by HRH the Princess Royal on 30 May 1996.
City of Westminster 

Site: Anna Neagle and Herbert Wilcox (1 memorial)

W1, Park Lane, 63 - 64

The plaque is on the side of the building in South Street.

On the west facade of this building, above an entrance door, there is a crest with "1931", almost certainly the date of the building, and a relief showing a city gate, which looks very like the one at National Provincial Bank in Bishopsgate.
