Which is the best part of this country to livie in?

The prosperous south with London, the South East, the M4 Corridor, or the frozen and soggy north?

Some say the quality of life is better in the North as we have the North York Moors, the Lake District, the forest of Kielder, which has the darkest skies in the country and a new observatory.

I for one prefer the North, having been born in the south and for a time lived in south London.

South by miles. This is sunny all year long, people are real, less stressful life unlike Paris. I love my city, I love the way southern people live.

I've lived in the South West, East Midlands and Yorkshire and the North is friendlier by far.

As for which one is best..... I cant decide

Hmmmm. I am a northerner living in London. They both have their good points. There is lots to do in London. However I do find Northern people more friendly. My roots are up North so I have to go with that. It's so expensive in London.

The North. I find that people in the North are very family and friend orientated but those in the South are career orientated. Theres also more to do up here because theres more bigger cities and its cheaper too. I'll never move out of the North West :cheer:

When I had a job traveling all over the country, I preferred to go North than South.

For England I love London but I also adore Manchester so....

Ireland,the North is considered as Nothern Ireland,which isn't part of our country. I find anywhere but Dublin(east) far too quiet.

I live in Leeds (the best northern city) and although I adore London and visit London quite often, I prefer the North becuase there is as much to do up north as there is down south, the people are friendlier and by the way the south is only occasionly slightly warmer than the North!

im biased cause im a northerner born, bred and proud, the people in the north are much more friendlier and i know this will go down like a lead balloon with southerners but i think we have better sense of humours xx

North, its far friendlier up here. I love the south for its hustle and bustle. But I love the hills up north and everyone talks to each other where I live :)

West Midlands for the win! :hello:


I'm gonna pick the north because I like the accents and my experiences have always been good.

I like both.. I have been all over the north & south and there is good and bad in every place. What does my head in is when people say the uk is cr@p and they hardly go anywhere around the uk... Maybe another town and spain in the summer! There is loads to see around the uk, north and south.

London is good, peak district, the lakes, scotland, yorkshire, wales, cornwall... Around spalding is way too flat.
