Pearly King and Queen

These true icons of London, the Pearly Kings and Queens, are available to hire for welcome meet and greet, mix ‘n’ mingle at your event.

The Cockney Royalty are known for their super-fast wit and a love of London and will happily chat and have photographs taken with your guests.

The Pearly King’s title came from his wife’s family who were original costermongers, but he also took his first breath within the sound of Bow bells (St Mary le Bow in Cheapside) and has sewn every pearl button on to each of his three Pearly suits. The Pearly Society raise thousands of pounds every year for over forty charities.

They are not a song and dance act with a show, but are always happy to join in with a Cockney sing-a-long!

Their extensive list of satisfied customers include The Excell centre, ITV, BBC TV, Radio, The Brit awards, London bus travel, Hello magazine, Red Magazine, Vogue magazine, The-Grosvenor Hotel, The Dorchester hotel, The Faversham hop festival, the Maidstone beer and hops festival.

Testimonial

“…The Pearlies were fantastic, thank you again for arranging for us. We will happily keep you in mind for future events!”

Sarah Gosling, 6up

“They were absolutely brilliant, they made the evening for me, and I know several people commented on how good and informative they were. And absolutely lovely people as well. They really did make my night. Please pass on my sincere thanks to them and I hope they had a nice time. If we ever get the opportunity to book them again they will be at the top of the list!”

Kelly Fitzpatrick

“I cannot begin to express my thanks to Clive and Kim the Pearly King and Queen of Woolwich!

They were punctual, very friendly and looked fantastic in their Pearly suit and dress.

They gave it 110%, interacting with not only myself but all my guests from the children there to my 83-year Aunt, dancing and singing to the old time musical songs.
Clive also did a dance solo which was just great and afterwards, they both kindly posed for photos.

It was a pleasure to donate to their charities as that is what they do, help others.
They were such an asset to my 50th birthday party and helped make it the success it was.
They were my best kept secret!

I would not hesitate to book them again and I highly recommend them and Matters Musical.”
