Being a Yorkshireman I know I am not posh in the slightest  I realised though, that I don’t really even know what areas of the country ARE posh.
I saw an article about Fulham being a posh area and was surprised. When I think of Fulham are you think of a rubbish football team (though I don’t actually watch football so sorry if I am offending any fans). I always associate posh with somewhere like Kent (don’t laugh at me if it isn’t )
It made me think, what parts of the country are posh? Is it more south? Are there any posh areas up north? Also what do people define as posh?  |

Where I live is often described as the ‘Monaco of Devon’, admittedly it’s usually by me who says it, people ask where I live, I say the non specific location and then follow it up with the caveat that it’s the ‘Monaco of Devon’. |

"Harrogate and Altrincham are posh northern areas."
I got harrogate mixed up with brighouse once when talking to someone at work and they got so very offended |

"Cheltenham darling "
I know a very elderly lady in my work team who is from Cheltenham. For the life of me did not understand why she was in Yorkshire. She talked so posh I used to love copying some of the phrases she’d say. |

I'm from Kent and her ladyship days I sound posh but the whole county definitely isn't. Houses around Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and the Weald are incredibly expensive which I guess is as good an indicator of a posh area as any.
On the other hand, "Chatham Chav" was the first time I ever heard the expression "chav".

Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent is strange.. £1million+ houses and then not far away council estates.
When i tell people I'm from there they automatically think I'm a posh lad. |

Sandbanks, I personally don't think its posh but property prices are eye watering
Cobham, Esher Surrey stockbroker belt. St George's Hill Estate. Lots of celebrities and millionaire business owners.
Wentworth Estate. Sunningdale/ Ascot general area.
London, Holland Park mental prices...

Every area has expensive posh areas and skanky downmarket areas. Your example of Kent - some lovely country houses that cost millions but also many areas of deprivation where people live under the breadline. |
