South, the same as any place below Penrith.
Lincolnshire is the North. Norfolk is the South.
Oh come on guys!
We've done this one to death. There is a definitive answer to this question.
It's well documented and clearly defined within Stuart Maconie's seminal work on the subject, "Pies and Prejudice: In search of the North".
The North undeniably begins in... Crewe
East.
The North begins at the Watford Gap and ends at Berwick, where it becomes The South again.
Half of it is basically London, so it's the south.
You have to cross the Thames to get there: it's The North.
Watford Gap ? 😆
You have missed out the whole of the Midlands !( in the south)
Being generous ..Hull across to Manchester and beyond is where I would say is North on a bad day.
On a good day it's from Scotch Corner across to Penrith...when Yorkshire & Lancashire are then southern northerners as a token gesture.
Obviously we are talking England & Wales here and not the wild untamed lands beyond the northern most border ..
It's the east (but is in the south). It's not the south east because they don't have that horrible esturine accent.
The north (of England) lies north of a line between the Mersey and the Humber. South of that is the Midlands (which is actually a buffer zone to protect us from southerners), where that ends and the sarf begins is anyone's guess and isn't really of any importance. 😆
I'm on the South Coast and it took 5 hours driving North to get to Norfolk at Christmas.
A few years ago when a pal from Manchester came up to stay with me he was somewhat annoyed to be describe as from down south. I live in Edinburgh"you are all shandy drinking southerners to me
waves from Norway
Horatio..all that means is that you travelled from the deep south up to the regular south .. 😉
There are only 2 things you need to know about East Anglia.
1. Never go east of Lowestoft
2. The trig point in Little Ouse reads -1.5m
No idea. Is it near East Virginia?

I'm in Suffolk and considering we get all sorts of weird places like Milton Keynes mentioned on our BBC so called 'local' news, I'm going to say that East Anglia is the East East Midlands.
It's only about 100 miles from That London. South.
Edinburgh is south for me
