People often joke about how Brits drop their T’s in words like "bo’oh’wa’er," but British accents are very different depending on where you go.

For example, there’s the Cockney accent from East London, which has its style, and the clear, formal way people talk in BBC English. Every region has its special way of speaking, which makes British English interesting.
