  That was everywhere in England and Wales apart from London? It depends on the scale you look at. Looking at the regional count results, only three of the 12 regions (Greater London, Northern Ireland, and Scotland) voted to remain, and the electorate in these regions makes up 23% of the total. But looking at the voting areas, 119 of the 382 (i.e. 32%) areas voted to Remain, and 37% of the electorate live in a voting area that had a majority for remain [0]. These voting areas are mostly in Scotland or NI, but there are isolated pockets around major Northern cities (Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Leeds), and the cluster centered on London reaches across much of the South (North East to Cambridge, West to Cardiff, and South to Brighton). See this map [1], a map in which the voting areas are scaled in proportion to their population [2].
