Historically, the dialect was used by people from the central-eastern boroughs of the capital, but a new multi- cultural way of speaking has emerged there in recent years.
Sue Fox, a socio-linguistic expert from Queen Mary, University of London, found features of the dialect are now more likely to be heard in Basildon or Barking than within the sound of Bow Bells or modern-day Tower Hamlets — where it originated.
She said: “In the last five decades Cockney has probably undergone more rapid change than at any time in its long history.”
