Either get a dialect coach or go over and spend time in different areas. Otherwise you're sounding like Kevin Costner in "Robin Hood", Keanu Reeves in "Dracula", or Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins". It sounds as silly as a Brit trying to sound American.
How they sound in different regions varies a lot, phrases they use are somewhat different.
Prob. listening to BBC radio online might help.

You cant learn British accent.but you can pick up the accent by listening to it and repeating the words back as you hear them.watch BBC network channel if you have it.watch all kinds of British shows and talk to some people from England if you know any.listen to there accent and try to say it back the way they said it.keep doing that.it takes a little while but you will pick up alot of that British accent. good luck and take care!

There are well over 200 different accents in Britain and many different dialects of English. Which accent do you want?
