Take elocution lessons.
Great minds...(shame I was too slow)
Hang about Oxford for about a week.
Make sure you enunciate eg. remember that often has a t in it so say it, if it ends in -ing make sure you say it like that, don't forget the g or in some cases and a k 
Ain't is not a proper word. I don't care who argues, you are supposed to say isn't. (As you may have guessed I dislike how people destroy the english language simply by speaking)
Little things like that make you sound a lot better.

Watch Stephen Fry and copy him?
Watch my pastor and speak like him.
Rounded vowels, emphasis more and don't use contracted words.
Make sure you say 'oooh' and 'ahhh' (not in an orgasmic way) before you start a sentence.
Also, pretend that you're constipated.

Don't use "weren't" and "wasn't" interchangably. 'Anything' and 'nothing', not 'owt' and 'nowt'. There is a 'd' in the middle of 'didn't, it's not 'di't', and wa'eh' is actually said 'water'. These are all the ones I inflict on people, and probably the reason two people this week have said "Oh, you're from the North!" after only one sentence.
Then again you're from London, so I don't know how many of those you actually do anyway. I think accent's a big part of it though; I'd never think of Jarvis Cocker, for example, as posh even though I can't remember ever hearing him use bad English.

Put a hot potato in your mouth before talking.

I really thought there was a bug on my screen then!!
And yeah I get alot of stick because I'm from a rough part of Essex and I do sound very common. People assume you're thick which is really annoying, I wouldn't change the way I talk though. Sod everyone else
use big long fancy words 
obviously, i'm not really posh since my above sentence contained words with merely only 2 syllables. Ah well.

Get a rich, posh man to take you under his wing and transform you from a lowly street seller to the beautiful, eloquent lady that you've always dreamed you'd be. You might have to sing, though.
Pfffft stuff the awful posh accent, speak how you would naturally
