Dialect of English spoken in London

Paw Ow

Cockney is a dialect of the English language spoken mainly in London, particularly by Londoners from working-class and lower-middle-class families.

The term Cockney is also used as a demonym for a person from London's East End, or, traditionally, born within earshot of Bow Bells.
