COCKNEY
Se llama cockneys a las personas de la zona este de Londres conocida como East End, un barrio tradicionalmente obrero, aunque según la tradición un cockney auténtico ha de haber nacido dentro del área en la que se oye el repique de las campanas de la iglesia de Mary-Le-Bow, en la City londinense. Este término también hace referencia al dialecto que se habla en esta parte de Londres, aunque a veces también se aplica a cualquier acento de la clase trabajadora londinense. El actor Michael Caine es un cockney famoso.
