0212? I think thats the area code Skepta always yelling out. East or North London

Primarily London, Stormzy is from South London and Skepta and JME are from North London (they're brothers).

Grime artists are all over England tbh but London is pretty much the mecca

Is there something that makes the Grime sound distinguishable? Other than the obvious UK roots I mean.

Most if not all of their tracks is hi-tempo
double time flow alot of times
slang (Cockney Rhyming Slang, can be heard on alot of tracks especially one by Skepta where he says ""Iced out Hickory dikkery" Hickory dikkery is Cockney Rhyming Slang for Watch/Clock)

Grime is 140BPM. The traditional sound is very electronic PS1-ish. It actually sounds pretty similar to Trap music and is similarly aggressive.
