The current speaking style favoured by London's urban yoof is heavily accented as well as typified by slang expressions. Hackney being an area of East London (in which I reside) which has the dubious honour of being the worst borough in Britain repeatedly. Please note that the slang described here is common throughout britian, and is an accent developed often by well spoken people to attain street cred.
The general Hackney Patois comes from a mash up of east london cockney, afro- carribbean, general chavspeak and Hip-Hop slang often attributed to British Asian yoof as popularised by Ali G.
The vocabulary is inextricably linked to cellular phone sms (text) messaging, and online instant messaging, where limited space and speed of texting required abbreviations (m8 - mate, l8r - later, etc.) So much that often the true spelling of words are forgotten. Predictive text messaging has reversed some language - e.g 'book' was used for 'cool' as that was easier to text is now being used in language.
The 'grime' music scene sees Hackney Patois at its core - see artists such as M.I.A and Lady Soverign

Get the Hackney Patois mug.A sexual/nutritional act ideal for parties or BBQs. A woman lies on her back with her breasts exposed (the bread), and the chef (sex is unimportant, but for the sake of flavour ideally someone with a garlic-rich diet) curls out a brown trout between her tits (the meat) before a male participant then Harry Munks over it (the cheese). Hungry party goers can then take the cheese burger in both hands and chomp away.
The act gained its "Hackney" monkier from the London borough where it was first performed following the complete consumption of all regular BBQ food stuffs.
