It includes most of the historic areas including the City of London and the West End. The majority of the London Underground network is in North London.

The London boroughs which make up North London are Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Enfield, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Havering, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Newham, Redbridge, that part of Richmond north of the river, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, the City of Westminster and the City of London.

However, colloquially North London normally does not refer to boroughs such as Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow or Richmond which are normally considered to be in West London. Similarly the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest are usually considered to be in East London. The City of London is a often considered, and indeed is, a discrete entity. The West End would also be excluded from some people's definition of North London.

Other definitions would limit it to the areas covered by the N and NW london postal districts:
