Hotels-London.co.uk - Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival in East London

Sept. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- The Pearly Kings and Queens are one of the great London traditions. Started in 1975 by an orphan boy named Henry Croft, members stitch pearls into their suits to create eye-catching outfits, which they wear as they go about performing their charitable deeds.

There is a Pearly King and Queen for each London borough, along with the City of Westminster and the City of London, and every year their main event is their magnificent harvest festival, which this year falls on September 25th.

Festivities begin at 1pm in Guildhall Yard, where traditional entertainment is followed by a parade, complete with marching band, to St Mary-le-Bow Church for a harvest service at 3pm.

Visitors are sure to be entertained by the charming Pearly families, while all donations go to the noble cause of Whitechapel Mission, which cares for homeless and vulnerable people in East London.

Hotels-London.co.uk (http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/) can provide accommodation for anyone attending this event to help the cause. Kingsway Hall (http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/kingsway-hall.hotel) in Covent Garden is just one of hundreds of choices available.
