It is an accent. You might be confusing it with cockney rhyming slang, which is just the slang it's associated with.

Yes! It can refer to the people, the place, the accent, the language, the rhyming slang and the culture.

I read it is becoming rarer nowadays because it used to be mostly inner-london working class who spoke it and nowdays a lot of people there speak Multicultural London English though
