Yes, being born in Guys hospital makes you Cockney. The bells of St Mary's Le Bow Cheapside are just the other side of the river. It is a common mistake to mix up these bells with the church bells in Bromley by Bow East London. If you were born in Bow or Isle of Dogs or most of Hackney then you should be proud to call yourself an East Ender but not a true Cockney. The Bow bells were rung at 9pm from the fourteenth hundreds to inform the traders and towns people that the city gates were about to be closed for the night. London Bridge and the Borough to the south was where most of them lived. What we now consider the East End was uninhabited Thames marsh land in them days. Hope this helps.
AnswerA Cockney is (usually) a working class person from London, England - particularly from the East End of London.Traditionally, to qualify to be a Cockney you had to be born within earshot of "The Bow Bells" - that is the bells of the Church of St. Mary le Bow, in London.An abode is where someone lives, so it could be the East End of London, or a person's house in that area.A Cockney's Abode is also known as "ome".(that's how they pronounce home)

I play viola myself and so the strings are: A, D, G, and C. The C string is the closest to your left and the A closest to your right, or your bow hand. To play the notes on each of the strings, place your finger down on the yellow or red or white tapes and move your bow.
People from London are called londoners.Those from the East end of London are called eastenders.Some eastenders are called cockneys. To qualify as a real cockney you must have been born "within the sound of bow bells". These bells are in the parish church of Bow.
