The geology of the area from where your water supply comes determines the water hardness in your area. Rainfall is naturally soft, but as it permeates through rock, various minerals such as calcium and magnesium dissolve into it. Counties in the south of England tend to have the hardest water in the UK, especially around London and Kent.
When the water evaporates, minerals are left behind causing limescale to build up. This is especially a problem for kettles since limescale tends to occur around heating elements, causing damage over time.
