The counties between the Midlands and London ( Bedfordshire , Buckinghamshire , and Hertfordshire ) may be considered part of Southern England, as may the counties of East Anglia ( Cambridgeshire , Essex , Norfolk , and Suffolk ).

On a maximal definition, the northern boundary thus approximately corresponds to an imaginary line drawn from the Severn Estuary to The Wash (or, expressed in terms of towns, from Gloucester to King's Lynn ). If Government Office Regions were to be used as a basis, this area would comprise South East England and South West England , Greater London , and the East Of England .

Anecdotically, the island of Tasmania , an Australian State , was referred to by some English colonists as 'a Southern England' in view of its climate and landscape.
