South England
Southern England is a vague term referring to the south of England. Various people use the term with varying extents - and unlike the North there is no clear boundary that can be used as a marker.
In any definition Southern England includes all the areas on the English Channel, i.e.
It will also include some areas immediately adjacent
The exact northern extent is hard to define. In the west it could include Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but then these are sometimes considered part of the Midlands.
The counties between the Midlands and London - Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire are often considered southern, as could be the areas in East Anglia - Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk.
If government office regions were to be used as a basis, the south would comprise South East England and South West England, along with presumably London. This covers Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but not Essex.
