The North is further from the Equator and nearer to the North Pole.

In general in the Northern hemisphere, places further North are colder.

Weather in the UK is strongly affect by the Gulf Stream which warms the land. The affect of this is less to the North.

It is further from the equator. It does not get the same amount of benefit from Gulf Stream, though it is still warmer than other parts of the world that far north of the equator. There are also more mountains in the north. So there are various reasons.

The more you move away from the Equator, the colder it becomes. So for example, Inverness would be a few degrees colder than London and London is a few degrees colder than Lyon in France.
