Cockney is probably the second most famous British accent. It originated in the East End of London, but shares many features with and influences other dialects in that region.
It is typically associated with working class citizens of London, who were called cockneys, and it contains several distinctive traits that are known to many English speakers, as the dialect is rather famous.
Some students of linguistics have become concerned that the cockney dialect may fall out of spoken English, due to the influence of multicultural immigrants in London who have added their own regional slang and speech patterns to the dialect.
Cockney speech can be extremely difficult to understand as it is littered with word replacements thanks to rhyming slang. Like other unique dialects, a thick cockney accent can seem almost like another language. Care should also be taken when attempting to mimic it, as the cockney dialect can be very slippery and native users may be confused or amused by the attempts of a non-native.
