"Classic" Sci-Fi Movie Title - probably 1950's and definitely Brit!


Question: "Classic" Sci-Fi Movie Title - probably 1950's and definitely British!?
This came up the other day when my fellow nerds and I were sitting around talking about old SciFi films that nurtured our interest in SciFi as a child!. I'm hoping that someone can help me with the title!.

One of the ones that I could recall seeing as a child was on the Saturday Thriller Theater (or something like that)!. This was based in post-WWII London and was in the basement of a building!. The characters found something that they thought was an unexploded bomb but was actually either a spacecraft or part of an alien machine!. One of the main characters figured out that he could connect to the machine and have psychic experiences and would actually see the aliens (which looked something like grasshoppers - it was the 50's you know)!.

I don't remember the end of the movie, only the premise and that it was sort of an anti-war or nuclear message, because the aliens had a big war at some point, as was found out during the main character's experimentation!.
