Quick takeaways

Certain accents in England pronounce TH sounds like TH or TH as either TH or TH.

The Cockney accent replaces the T sound with a glottal stop in certain positions in words.

H sounds are often dropped in Cockney and some other accents, although it can be stigmatized.

Regional accents in England have distinct features like variations in TH sounds, dropping of the H in weak forms, and changes in vowel pronunciation.
