Southeast England is the most of the nine official UK territories at the first level of NUTS for statistical purposes. It consists of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey, and West Sussex. Like other parts of Britain, apart from Greater London, the southeast region has no elected government.
It is the third largest area in the UK, with an area of ​​19,096 km 2 (7,373 sq mi), and also the most populous with a population of more than eight and a half million (2011). The headquarters of governing bodies in the region are in Guildford, and the area is composed of seven cities: Brighton and Hove, Canterbury, Chichester, Oxford, Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester, although other large settlements include Reading and Milton Keynes. Its proximity to London and connections to several national highways has led to Southeast England being the economic hub, with the country's largest economy outside the capital. This is the location of Gatwick Airport, the second busiest airport in the UK, and its coastline along the English Channel provides many ferry crossings to mainland Europe.
This area is known for its countryside, which includes North Downs and Chiltern Hills as well as two national parks: the New Forest and the South Downs. The Thames River flows through the region and its valley is known as the Thames Valley. It is also the site of a number of internationally renowned places, such as HMS Victory in Portsmouth, Cliveden in Buckinghamshire, Thorpe Park and RHS Wisley in Surrey, Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Windsor Castle in Berkshire, Leeds Castle, White Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, Brighton Pier and Hammerwood Park in East Sussex, and Wakehurst Place in West Sussex. The area has many universities; The University of Oxford is among the best in the world.
South East England is host to numerous sporting events, including the annual Henley Royal Regatta, Royal Ascot and The Derby, and sports venues including Wentworth Golf Club and Brands Hatch. Some of the 2012 Summer Olympic events are held in the southeast, including a rowing at Eton Dorney and part of a road cycling race in Surrey Hills.

Geography
The largest city in the region is Brighton & amp; Hove. The dominant influence on the region's economy is London's neighbors. The highest point is Walbury Hill in Berkshire at 297 meters (974Ã, ft).
The highest original tree in England, according to The Tree Register in April 2015, is a 144-ft beech at Devil's Dyke at Newtimber Woods in West Sussex.
Historical limitations
Until 1999, there was the Southeast Standard Statistical Area, which also included the counties of Bedfordshire, Greater London, Essex and Hertfordshire. The former Southern Civil Defense Region covers the same area as the current government office.
Alternate definitions
In unofficial use, Southeast can refer to a variety of areas - sometimes only to London, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey; but sometimes to areas that correspond to the previous Standard Statistical Area (above). Southeast is also sometimes used as a synonym for home districts.

Transport
Main road transport routes along the M1 through Buckinghamshire; M40 through Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire; M4 through Berkshire and Buckinghamshire; M2/A2 and M20 motorways via Kent; M23 through West Sussex; M3 through Hampshire. All of these routes are connected to the M25, which runs close and sometimes through the territorial border with Greater London.

The main intercontinental airport is Gatwick Airport, with regional airports at Kent International Airport (Ramsgate), Shoreham Airport and Southampton Airport. Heathrow Airport is located in Greater London but also serves (and served by) the Southeast region.
Great Western Main Line passes through Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire. Main South Eastern Highway and High Speed ​​1st through Kent; the latter connected to the Channel Tunnel. Brighton Main Line passes Surrey and West Sussex. The North Downs Line operates from Berkshire then via Surrey to connect with Sussex and Kent. West Coast Main Line passes north Buckinghamshire.

Transport policy
As part of the transport planning system, the Regional Assembly is under the mandatory requirement to produce a Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) to provide long-term planning for transportation in the region. It involves wide area transportation schemes such as those carried out by the Highway Agency and Railway Networks.
Within the area, local transport authorities carry out transport planning through the use of Local Transport Plans (LTP) that outline their strategies, policies and implementation programs. The latest LTP is for the period 2006-11. In the Southeast region, the following transport authorities have issued their LTP online: Bracknell Forest U.A., Brighton & amp; Hove U.A., Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Medway U.A., Milton Keynes U.A., Oxfordshire, Portsmouth U.A., Reading U.A., Slough U.A., Southampton U.A., Surrey, Windsor and Maidenhead U.A., Wokingham U.A. and West Sussex.
