Are there any state schools in London that produce kids speaking a posh Queen's English or do only public / private school kids get that?
I really prefer it although I know it's not popular with many people. I'm an American mum in London .... apologies in advance if this offends!

Children do mainly pick up accents from their peers. If they didn't, Asian kids and African kids born here would not be growing up with the British accents they clearly have.
