Cockneys are, in the modern-day sense of the word, white working-class inhabitants of London. But according to tradition, the strict definition is limited to those born within earshot (generally taken to be three miles) of the Bow bells, in other words the bells of St Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside.

Grey Matter" is correct except that the radius from Bow bells should be one mile, not three.
