Open Question
You need to stick a stick up your butt, so that it’s stuck up there. Then cut the end off. Then keep it in for a week and don’t shower. Then once the week ends take it out and shower, get a fresh stick and repeat this week after week and you will soon talk like a criminal boss.
Good luck.

Bloody good day, chap, now could you give me your purse?
Ahh the typical east end accent? Ok this isn’t going to be the greatest but…
The ‘L’ sound is pronounced like a ‘w’- not milk, but miwk (ok that looks weird)
The ‘th’ is pronounced as an ‘f’ or a ‘v’- bother becomes ‘bovah’, mother/brother becomes ‘muvah’/’bruvah’ whilst think becomes ‘fink’ and bath becomes ‘barf’. Basically if the ‘th’ is at the start/end of a sentence you pronounce it as ‘f’ and if it’s in the middle you pronounce it as a ‘v’ sound. Usually.
The ‘ow’ sound as in ‘down the road’ becomes more of an ‘ah’ sound such as ‘dahhn the road’. And not ‘ahh’ as in ‘arr’ but ahh as in, well, ‘ahh’ if I’m making sense.
‘T’s are also often unpronounced as well and are basically silent, and only hinted at.
So to say the sentence ‘ After I’ve had my bath I think I’m going to go down the road.’
They would say, ‘After I’ve had me barf I fink I’m gahhn dahhn the road.’
It’s basically cockney only in recent years we hear less of the rhyming slang. Also some slang words, and less of a formal tone and less formal language. There’s more to tawking lika propa sahhf Londoner than woss written ‘ere! That was bad…
This is probably the worst answer in history but it’s the best I can do. It’s hard writing down these technicalities. If you just watch a lot of videos of the east end accent you’ll pick up on it, especially if you’re good with picking up on various different sounds and tones.
Just drop all ya H’s in your vocabulary
