    Estuary English from Oxford with a slight Midlands tinge, Also what people refer to as the "British" accent is really just "Received Pronunciation" which is one of the many types of British English.

    EDIT: My mic doesn't want to work ffs.

    When Hungarians speak English their accent will be closer to American becuase the way hungarian 'R' is pronounced is closer to the American R sound (we have a rolling R like spaniards). R in British pronunciation is kind of non existant like in German.
