Слэнг Лондона

The East End is the area east and outside of the medieval walled City of London and north of the River Thames. People who live in the East End are known as East Enders. Many East Enders are 'Cockneys'. The term cockney refers to an East London accent. A cockney traditionally is a person born within hearing distance of the sound of Bow bells, meaning within the sound of the bells of the Church of St Mary Le Bow in Cheapside, London. To most people living outside London the term Cockney means a Londoner. Cockney Rhyming slang is a coded language invented in the nineteenth century by Cockneys so they could speak in front of the police without being understood. It uses a phrase that rhymes with a word, instead of the word itself. For example:
