I suspect that Arthur was just staying at the address at the time of his marriage and may not have been his family address (there were no Hallams registered there in 1926). This is 1926 electoral register:

1926- 100 Parnell Road, Poplar
Sarah Ann Powles
Walter Powles

1926- 102 Parnell Road, Poplar
John Alcock
Eliza Palmer
------------------------------

Have you considered that Arthur may have been born outside London?

There is this Arthur which fits the info given (Arthur senior being a Gardener, deceased in 1926- marriage cert on Ancestry):

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Draycott Road Breaston Derby, Breaston, Derbyshire, England

Arthur Hallam Head Married Male Gardener 49 1862 Sutton Bonnington
Sarah Ann Hallam Wife Married Female - 48 1863 Derby
Nellie Hallam Daughter Single Female - 19 1892 Breaston Derbyshire
Rebecca Hallam Daughter Single Female Slip Winder 17 1894 Breaston Derbyshire
Arthur Hallam Son - Male Shop Lad 14 1897 Breaston Derbyshire
Frederick Hallam Son - Male - 13 1898 Breaston Derbyshire
John William Hallam Son - Male - 12 1899 Breaston Derbyshire
Harriet Hallam Daughter - Female - 8 1903 Breaston Derbyshire
Thomas Hallam Son - Male - 5 1906 Breaston Derbyshire
-----------------------------------

According to the 1939 register, your Arthur was born 6th December 1896- this fits with this birth registered first qtr of 1897:

HALLAM, ARTHUR (Mother's maiden name: STEVENSON)
GRO Reference: 1897 M Quarter in SHARDLOW Volume 07B Page 520

(Note Breaston registers in Shardlow district)
--------------------------------

This is Arthur senior death:

Death:
First name(s) ARTHUR
Last name HALLAM
Gender Male
Birth year 1863
Age 54
Death quarter 1

Darn it! So the information was already given :-(

And the info posted by ChristinaS matches the birth date given on the 1939 register- confirming the correct man:

First name(s) Arthur
Last name Hallam
Birth 6 Dec 1896
Address Draycott Lane, Breaston, Derby
Service number Z/4773
Service Royal Naval Division

Just adding - in 1925/ 26 a Walter Powles and Sarah Ann Powles were living at 100 Parnell Road.

Looks like it may have been a relation.

This is their marriage:

First name(s) Walter
Last name Powles
Marriage year 1908
Parish Register Office
Place Shardlow
Spouse's first name Sarah Ann
Spouse's last name Hallam
Reference SD/16/082
Register Office 394
County Derbyshire
---------------------------------------

This is them in 1911:

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Draycott Road Breaston Derby, Breaston, Derbyshire, England

Walter Powles Head Married Male Shunter 25 1886 London Bow
Sarah Ann Powles Wife Married Female - 25 1886 Derbyshire Breaston
George Alvey Boarder Single Male Waggoner On Farm 21 1890 Nottingham
George Howe Boarder Single Male Waggoner On Farm 20 1891 Derbyshire Thurston Marsh
-------------------------

It appears that Sarah was Arthur's sister:

Births:
HALLAM, SARAH ANN (Mother's maiden name: STEVENSON )
GRO Reference: 1884 S Quarter in SHARDLOW Volume 07B Page 514
------------------------------

This is Sarah in 1891 (in 1901 she's living with the Drake family as a servant- hence why she does appear in the 1901 census with Arthur jnr):

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Main Street, Breaston, Shardlow, Derbyshire, England
