I think from wherever on earth you are accept the equator down is the direction toward somewhere warmer and up is toward colder regions. From the North and South Poles down is every direction you can go
It is a very good question:
Any direction is always relative to your frame of reference.
On the Earth, down is normally towards the centre of the Earth - no matter where you are, England, US, Australia, Mexico or the South Pole.
We look down at the floor and look up to the ceiling.
However, if you were standing on your head, you could say that you are looking up at your feet whilst looking down at the floor, whilst someone standing next to you would say a) you look silly and b) you are wrong. Down is towards my feet, but both agree on the direction but not terminology. The frame of reference.
If you were on Jupiter the same rules would apply, but if you were floating in space then there would be no real up nor down.
Generally down is always going to be the direction of the greatest gravitational attraction or in which direction an object will fall in free fall. Hence you "fall down", not "fall up".
