Source: This website explains what constitutes city status in the UK, with the various conflicting definitions of the word
Can you name all cities of the UK? The UK city status is not granted automatically just because a town becomes large, or because of a cathedral. A town is granted city status by the British monarch.

	Belfast is in Northern Ireland, not Great Britain, so maybe change your title to UK Cities? Also, please accept "Newcastle" without the "upon Tyne" and "Stoke" without the "on Trent".

	Updated. Thanks for the comments. :)

	Could have used a bit of colour, but im nitpicking, good quiz

	I got 28..is that ok for a Yank ? (I never heard of Bradford or Wakefield)

	arnoldschwa:	Aug 5th, 2010 at 12:32 GMT		2 points
	That is IMPRESSIVE. I was expecting London and maybe Edinburgh. LOL

	The city of London only has a few thousand residents.

	chriskotx: What I'd give not to have heard of Bradford or Wakefield.

	Got most of these thanks to my folloing of the english football leagues Premier down to League 2

	@Jam1: This is distinct in structure as the answers are in descending size (with size) instead of alphabetical order. I think that unless you can recite all cities like some do with the countries of the world, the different clues make a difference to recall. Alphabetical clues can make it abit easier once many cities are already up.

	Guess having a football team suffixed 'City' isn't enough to get Brechin included. Suspect chriskotx might not have got that either! Good quiz, tough but fair, and goodonyer for being precise about your source.

	@thecheshirecat Good point. Almost tempting to add to the list, but it is not part of my "ukcities" source. Cheers! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brechin

	Damn addictive quiz. Finally got all 66 after a few attempts... SNAG IT !!!

	@chriskotx: Wakefield is a little misleading, as it's quite a small place (76,886), but the city includes many surrounding towns such as Castleford, Pontefract and Featherstone. I knew there had to be some Scottish ones I'd missed, but I couldn't think of anything other than Fife and Perth! You could also add Bangor and St. Asaph as bonus answers.

	@Scottyboyc: population size is not the only thing that defines a place as a city. Just because a town has a large population doesn't mean it has been granted city status.

	huddersfieldtown:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 09:45 GMT		-2 points
	@chriskotx c'mon just cos theyre in yorkshire, the best place in the world. If you dont believe me, come live here! I live in heckmondwike/mirfield, and you must have heard of huddersfield town, my beloved FOOTBALL not soccer team are based there, HUDDERSFIELD TOWN!

	65 out of 66 how did i forget westminster

	cc_callie:	Mar 22nd, 2012 at 14:00 GMT		5 points
	You need to add Chelmsford, Perth and St Asaph. They've all won city status this month as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

	ribbo:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 18:54 GMT		2 points
	YOU NEED TO ADD CHELMSFORD, ESSEX. ST ASAPH, CLWYD. PERTH, SCOTLAND

	I'm surprised Dover isn't a city with how long it's been such an important port.

	lpw88:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 18:32 GMT		0 points
	It's Kingston-upon-Hull mate.

	matt01:	Mar 27th, 2013 at 19:23 GMT		2 points
	How Reading still isn't a city is beyond comprehension.

	Perth caught me out. Didn't realise it had been reinstated as a city.

	45/69, for a German who loves holidays on the British Isles that is a decent result. Could be better, though. And yes, Hull is not correct, even if it should remain an accepted answer, the city's name is Kingston-upon-Hull. Also, I don't think the City of London has so many inhabitants. If you put 7 million there, AT LEAST subtract the ones of Westminster. Or is Westminster a double city? :P
