London slang
London slang is slang that is used in London. It comprises a vast gamut of words and phrases. Some, albeit far from all, London slang words and phrases fall specifically under the umbrella of Cockney rhyming slang. Some of the words and phrases have been imported from other cultures that have immigrated to London, such as Jamaican patois.

One problem with identifying what is London slang is that the dominant cultural position that London has within the United Kingdom causes London slang to be exported to the rest of the U.K., leading to London slang becoming general United Kingdom English slang.
