The Northern Lights are centered around the earths magnetic pole, not geographic. The magnetic pole is off center, more towards N. America than Europe. Solar flares effect the northern lights too, and they come usually in cycles. A problem is light pollution, as there are more people and more lighting outside, so its hard to see. People in Southern Illinois used to talk about the old days of seeing the northern lights, but now that everyone and their neighbors has a light on outside, I doubt anyone would see them again. Same in England. I suppose people used to see them there at one time.

In England, no. In Scotland, maybe, sometimes. Try Scandinavian countries and northern Russia.

Alaska, USA usually in the winter. Sometimes during fall. The further North the better.
