Accents in the UK are regional, So if you look at the map of the UK at the major cities and town, you will start to get a feel as to the variations.

The most basis would be English. Scottish, Welsh and N Irish.

However someone in London (Cockney) sounds completely dirfferent to someone from Birmingham (Brummie)

Same as the Glasgow and Edingburgh accents are different. Sorry the list goes on and on

Every county and region has not only it's own accent but their own dialects and words and sayings too. Cockney, Londoner, North Cumberland and so on. It's not just the accent.

Cockney, is considered one. Most of them don't have a well defined name. Good luck.
