Redirected from Cities of the United Kingdom
A general rule of thumb used to be that any community with an Ancient University (a "university city"), a Diocesan Cathedral (a "cathedral city") or more than 1 million inhabitants was a city. However with the general growth in population, the 1 million inhabitants rule is no longer reliable.
There are currently 66 cities in the UK. 50 in England, 5 in Wales, 6 in Scotland and 5 in Northern Ireland.
