Have you ever wondered what people say when they ask for a Cockle and Hen or a bullseye?

Although they are not as commonly heard as they once would have been, these terms may still crop up in your daily London life.

We’ve put together a list of cockney words for money that may come in useful when doing business at old East End markets or if you’re at a local pub quiz.

Here are some of them:

A nugget - £1

Sometimes also called a “nicker”, this means one British pound.

Lady Godiva or deep sea diver - £5

Lady Godiva rhymes with a fiver, meaning £5.

So, if something were to cost £5 you may say “It’ll only cost you one Lady Godiva”.

Cockle and Hen - £10

No surprise with this one, in true Cockney rhyming slang this  isn’t a difficult one to figure out.

A score - £20

If something costs £20 you may say “I only paid a score for it.”

Pony - £25

To coin a phrase of a famous song, “stick a pony in your pocket, I’ll fetch the suitcase from the van.”

Many Only Fools and Horses fans will probably recognise this one, anyone with a “pony” in their pocket will have the sum of £25 to spend.

Bullseye - £50

Anyone who says they’ve got a “bullseye” will have a £50 note in their pocket.

Ton - £100

If someone was to say “call it a ton”, they’d be asking for the sum of £100.

Monkey - £500

If someone says “it’ll cost you a monkey”, they’re asking for £500.

Bag of Sand - £1000

Otherwise known as a grand, a bag of sand is the rhyming slang used to ask for £1000.
