List of English cities by population

This is a list of the largest cities and towns of England ordered by population. The populations are 2001 census figures from the Office for National Statistics, using the Key Statistics for Urban Areas figures http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/ssdataset.asp?vlnk=8271&Pos=2&ColRank=1&Rank=224, that attempt to divorce the populations of towns and cities from the Local Authority district(s) that they are contained within.

Urban areas and urban sub-divisions recognised as towns with a population greater than 100,000 have been extracted and included in the list. London Boroughs are excluded as their population is counted under Greater London. The figure therefore takes into account downward constraints on urban areas due to local authority borders, and is therefore distorted towards giving overestimates for cities whose boundaries are widely drawn and does not match well with the popular conception of these cities.

The actual City of London only has a 2001 census population of 7,185 but is recognised by the world as the larger Local Authority area known as Greater London made up of 31 London Boroughs and the two cites of London and Westminster.
