Default cockney accent

hey, at first I want to say hello as Im quite new in this forum,
my question is: can you help and advise me how I can pick up on Cockney accent, accent spoken in London, do you know any sources which I can learn it from? or some basics like types of vowels etc., do you think it is possible for a foreigner to pick up on Cockney accent? I mean, I know I will never be perfect but I at least want to try, so if anyone knows sth I would be pleased with some information, I have been always interested in this amazing London accent

thanks in advance

hello

perhaps the british tv-series "only fools and horses" could help. I think there they are speaking cockney.
