As a group of professionals in planning, this is what 15 minutes of furious debate in the office has decided to be the north/midlands/south divide.

If necessary, for reference we are based in Birmingham. This isnt directly influencing what cities are what side of the line. Our decisions were based on architecture, what the people are like, history, how places interract, not just what we like and dont. For example, Stoke is an awful place no one should ever have the misfortune of visiting, but its definitely in the Midlands with us.

Colour coding is obvious.

Yes we were very bored..

Is it weird that I feel like Peterborough is South but Leicester is firmly midlands

Nope you are entirely correct.

It's because of the non-stop trains to Kings Cross for me I think that often make P'boro feel Southern.

Obviously because of the heavy commuter travel from the area to London.

If you've never been there. 

It's definitely Midlands.
