I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as “anywhere north of the M25”.
So, lemmings, where is ‘the north’ to you?

The Midlands do exist! :P
North of Northamptonshire, as someone in the South
Living in the North of Scotland and listening to people referring to anywhere north of Watford Gap as “The North” will always elicit a raised eyebrow from me.
Oh my sweet southern children, what do you know of the true north? Where the sun hides it’s face for weeks at a time…

The Wirral is very strongly Viking influenced - there’s a Thingwall, after all.

I mean, London’s a big city but I’ve never heard any Londoner say this in all my life living there. It’s always been “comedians” usually Northern ones as a cheeky insult to Londoners: “Oh look they don’t even know geography”. Which, to be fair, we probably don’t.
Personally I’d say anything North of Sheffield is da Naaarth. Roughly anything above Wales.
