If anyone's played the games Dragon Quest VIII or Dragon Quest IX, they're both very British in terms of dialogue and feature much stronger use of British accents and slang than you normally see in American media.
It's a bit tongue in cheek and over the top (one of the characters in DQVIII even says 'cor blimey' quite frequently) but it is authentically British. I'd say that DQVIII has some of the most charming dialogue of any games I've played for a long time.
DQIX even sneaks in a bunch of British pop culture references (one of the bosses does a Little Britain quote).
But anyway, if you want a heavy exposure to fairly authentic British slang, play DQVIII for the PS2.
