Summerstown, St. Mary's Mission hall seems to have been built around 1931. By 1978 the building was used by a Pentecostal Congregation and seems to have fallen out of use and been sold ca. 1978 for redevelopment as social housing. It seems to be part of the site now occupied by the Shaftesbury building. (Information from Diocese of Southwark, Former Places of Worship or see link below)
