London
There are many accents traditionally associated with London. The most well known of the London accents long ago acquired the Cockney label from London's East End, which is heard both in London itself, and across the wider South East England region more generally. The accent of a 21st-century Londoner varies widely; what is becoming more and more common amongst the under-30s however is some fusion of Cockney with a whole array of ethnic accents, in particular Caribbean, which form an accent labelled Multicultural London English (MLE). The other widely heard and spoken accent is RP (Received Pronunciation) in various forms, which can often be heard in the media and many of other traditional professions and beyond, although this accent is not limited to London and South East England, and can also be heard selectively throughout the whole UK amongst certain social groupings. Since the turn of the century the Cockney dialect is less common in the East End and has 'migrated' east to Havering and the county of Essex.
Yorkshire dialect
The following features are recessive, and are generally less common amongst younger than older speakers in Yorkshire:Most Yorkshire accents are non-rhotic. At the time of the Survey of English Dialects, fully rhotic accents could be found in Swaledale, Lonsdale, Ribblesdale, and the rural area west of Halifax and Huddersfield, and the accents on the east coast of Yorkshire were rhotic when /r/ is in final position but not in pre-consonantal position.
