There's long term investment in London, but the North never recovered after losing its industry.

Numerous promises such as "northern powerhouse" have failed to materialise.

The north didn’t “lose” its industry, im afraid. It was deliberately destroyed as a matter of policy.

Deindustrialisation is terrible.

I think it would be safe to call London an outlier for the UK, for the reason of how much investment is directed there

For people outside the UK - English people refer to the north of England as “the North”, even when talking in the context of the UK.
