According to me,here"impression on England" is better to hear.
"Impression of '' sounds better in these cases:
Impression of foot on the soil..................................
Impression of price hike on the ........market......................

I'd agree with CJ: in this example, "impression of England" is required.

If you say "my impression on England is good", it implies "to make a good impression on"; which means you think you have impressed the English.

"My impression of England" is an interesting phrase from the viewpoint of its structure. Most of noun phrases of the form <X's verbal-noun of Y> corresponds to a sentence <X verb Y>. For example "Rome's destruction of Carthage" is "Rome destroyed Carthage". But "my impression of England" corresponds to "England impressed me", that is, the noun phrase corresponds to a sentence of <Y
