| Performance Notes | For the London International Christian Endeavor Convention of 1931 several venues across the Capital were hired including the Royal Albert Hall. The main convention venue was Alexandra Palace which held nearly 20,000 people. Nearly all the other large halls and churches in London were used at some time during the convention including Exeter Hall, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, City Temple, and Wesley's Chapel.

"A ' PROCESSION OF WITNESS' MARCH.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR JUBILEE.
After a day at the Central Hall, Westminster, of meetings, demonstrations, and exhibitions, held in celebration of the jubilee of the establishment of the Christian Endeavour movement, members of the British organisation formed up in Tothill-street and marched in 'procession of witness' to the Albert Hall.
The procession, which was headed by a band and colours, took just over seven minutes to pass a given point, and consisted of men and women of all ages and a number of children.
The marchers, and many others who had come by different routes, foregathered on the steps of the Albert Memorial, where panoramoic pictures were taken.
The company in the Albert Hall numbered 6,000 and 7,000. They had come from all parts of the United Kingdom.
