Default the standard form of English

Does such a thing as standard English exist any where in the English-speaking world? Is it worth while learning it? Is BBC pronunciation the perfect form of pronunciation? Is there any standard American English,Canadian English, South African English,,,,,,,,,,,,,,? Isn't it parochial to think that the variety of English spoken in and around London is the standard form of British English?
