Her accent is typical of most people living in central London I think.

For me theres three kind of London accents - Cockney, a neutral one in the middle and Posh and she falls into posh in my book.

I do admit she is nearer the posh than the cockney side but she is neutral  |

I don't think so. I was actually surprised when I first heard her speak because she looks like th neutral type.

People have said I have a posh accent but I don't, it's just not particularly cockney.
I would say you're quite cockney, more so than me I think - Walfemstow innit.  Completely understand why you would think Kim is posh though, Amy. Just because we pronounce all our words properly  |

Just because we pronounce all our words properly This is where the QI siron would go off, you (as you are including yourself in the "our") do not pronouce all of your words properly because you have this habit off adding R's to words which don't have any such as - "Darnce" "laurgh" "barstard" so  |

I think you have a few cockney words, but you sound close to neutral I think. |

You sound cockney in comparison to the people I mix with in areas such as Highgate/Hampstead which is no where near as posh as Kensington.  |
