Surrey is a county of England, UK.

Most people living in Surrey do not have Irish, Welsh or Scottish accents, nor do they have northern or 'west country' accents.

Many will have 'London' accents, Surrey being very near London.

However, people from many parts of England now live in Surrey, and it would be very difficult to spot a 'typical' Surrey accent, because there isn't one!

Of course, anyone born and bred in Surrey, and whose parents and grandparents have always lived in Surrey, and who went to school on Surrey, who work in Surrey and whose friends are all from Surrey, would doubtless have a 'Surrey' accent.

However, it would not be totally dissimilar from the general accent of most people who live in the South East of England. In fact, it would probably be totally indistinguishable from them, even by other 'South East Englanders' living 100 miles away on the East coast of South East England.

As a generalisation, a Surrey accent could come under the vague description 'modified received pronunciation.' This doesn't help us much, but it might help distinguish a 'Surrey' accent from, say, a Birmingham or Scottish one!

Surrey is a county in England, not an accent. Accents typically refer to the way people pronounce words based on their regional dialect or language.
