Even in London there is different accents in the east compared to the west. And there is another language in Cornwall called Cornish. Here's a few cities with their accents: East London - Cockney. (There is also something called Cockney rhyming slang, and is like another language to some people. They say "jam jar" to mean car, "pork pies" to mean lies etc. It was also used in Austin Powers; search ENGLISH, English in YouTube). Liverpool - Scouse Newcastle - Geordie Birmingham - Brummie This guy does a lot of the accents, but it also includes the accents in Scotland and Wales. Yeah, it’s different.

I think you meant to say English accent instead of British accent. So yes, in different parts of England there is different type of English accents just like in America. Hope this helps. :-) Remember that Britain includes Scotland and Wales as well as England. I think you meant to say English accent instead of British accent.

I have a Cornish accent which is usually lumped together with the Westcountry accents but is quite different to a Somerset accent if you know what you're listening out for. And no we don't say oo-arr, that's Somerset. The south usually says "grarss" and the north says "grass" but here in Cornwall we also say "grass". Yes Britain is known for its huge amount of accents.
