Below the Midlands
Southern England is the lower portion of England, typically encompassing London and the regions below it—the Southeast, Southwest, and East of England.
The boundary with northern England is imprecise and culturally contested, often drawn somewhere around Birmingham or the Midlands.
House prices in southern England have risen dramatically.
The area is generally wealthier and more densely populated than the north.
