Try and guess how to pronounce "Holborn" without looking it up. Bet you can't.

Silent 'l', also silent 'r' depending on if your accent is rhotic or not

First bit is right, second bit isn't really, and the vowel sounds at peculiar.
As far as I know the correct pronunciation is "hoe-burn". That's what the voice over lady on the tube says anyway.
But obviously these days you will hear many londoners just calling it "hole-born" because they have just moved from the counties and don't know shit.

Actually the second bit might be right too, I'm not exactly sure what rhotic means, so I'm sorry if "hoe-burn" is what you meant

Some British accents drop the 'r' sound unless it's followed directly afterwards by a vowel. Those that do drop the 'r' are called non-rhotic accents. Apparently, they're more common in rural areas especially in the south
For example, park gets pronounced as pahk, water is wa-tuh, burn is buhn and so on
