I’m not English, so there might be some things I’m missing, but I’ve been to England a few times and I consumed a fari bit of English culture. I drew this line a bit from history, a bit from accent, a bit from economics and so on. It would be the way I’d split England, if I were forced to split it only into north and south.

  1. There will never be a way to draw the north/south divide on a map that people will agree with. I have lived in many parts of the UK for a real long time and every village has its own version of what is north or south. Although a lot of things factor into it like economics and local history etc it’s more of a vibes thing. Some places just feel southern and some just feel northern. This is subjective ofc and everyone will have their own version.

  2. You will never get agreement on where a north-south divide is, particularly if you ignore the existence of the midlands.
    In this instance, people from the north (Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, the north east etc) would never say that Birmingham was northern. I would say this line more represents the border between midlands and the south, but even then there’s places that are the wrong side of the line.
