The Young Vic Theatre artistic director David Lan gave a commemorative address and Canon Richard Truss led prayers at a ceremony in June 2007 to rededicate a memorial plaque marking the place where, on 17 April 1941, 54 Waterloo residents from The Cut and Ipsden Buildings were killed by two bombs falling at Walkling's Bakery that is now the site of the Young Vic. The people, aged two months to 82 years, were in the cellar providing an air raid shelter. A commemorative plaque that was placed on the original theatre building, after research by Waterloo residents Lou and Len Shepperd, has been restored to the new building.
