There is no one way people in England speak currently. Britain has massive diversity in accents.
As far as I understand, Shakespearean English sounded most like modern-day West Country English (imagine a stereotypical pirate). This accent is rhotic, similar to many American accents, but unlike the modern south-eastern or RP accents that most foreigners identify as “British”.
