Received Pronunciation

Definition
Received Pronunciation or RP is a pronunciation of standard British English based on the speech of educated speakers of southern British Englishis. This "prestige" accent is associated with the south-east, where most RP-speakers live or work, but it can be found anywhere in the country. Accents usually tell us where a person is from; RP tells us only about a person's social or educational background.
