An A Z of London Cockney Rhyming Slang... And how to speak it

The informal dialect known as 'Cockney Rhyming Slang' originated amongst market traders and petty criminals in London's poverty-stricken East End during the 19th century. Playful, funny- and sometimes rude- it remains an integral aspect of the city's character.

This video will teach you how to speak Cockney Rhyming Slang, with a quick introduction and history followed by 26 examples- one for each letter of the alphabet.
