Page "London slang" Paragraph 0

London slang is a mixture of words and phrases from around the globe.

It reflects the diverse ethnic and cultural makeup of the city's population.

Because London occupies such a dominant economic position in the United Kingdom, slang originally unique to the city has spread across the UK.

Conversely, slang from outside London has migrated in along with people seeking work in the capital.

Cockney rhyming slang is probably the best known form of London slang.
