The inhabitants of the eastern parts of [[London]], [[England]], are known as '''Cockneys'''. They have a ready wit and warm hearts beneath gruff exteriors, and are frequently to be seen wearing the traditional garb of 'Pearly Kings and Queens', viz. a black suit covered with mother-of-pearl buttons, and doing the [[Lambeth Walk]], a local [[folk dance]]. | The inhabitants of the eastern parts of [[London]], [[England]], are known as '''Cockneys'''.
