| • | 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 ], that attempt to divorce the populations of towns and cities from the Local Authority district(s) that they are contained within.
These figures are not the population of City Councils, for these see List of English districts by population. In some examples where the Local Authority has very limited boundaries the population of some outside suburbs has been included; in other cases where the Local Authority has very generously-drawn boundaries the population of rural areas within the boundary has been excluded. In some cases, suburbs of towns that are within the local authority boundary, but have been recognised as part of the larger urban area, have been excluded from the figure (e.g. Beaumont Leys not counted towards Leicester, and Clifton not counted towards Nottingham).
These figures, on the other hand, should also not be confused with the population of conurbations. The original ONS statistics were calculated and presented in that format; but in this list urban areas and urban sub-divisions recognised as towns with a population greater than 100,000 have been extracted and listed seperately. Thus the Greater Manchester conurbation has a far larger population than that accredited to Manchester here; this list counts towns such as Bolton, Oldham and Stockport separately.
This system has not, however, been followed with respect to London; London Boroughs have not been extracted and their population is counted under Greater London, along with other areas that are part of the built-up area of London but not part of Greater London, such as Dartford, Gravesend, Epsom and Ewell, Hemel Hempstead, Spelthorne, Watford and Woking. Of these, only Watford and Woking/Byfleet would be large enough to go on the table.
This internal inconsistancy in its tabulation explains why the list shows such a steep drop-off after London. The actual City of London only has a 2001 census population of 7,185, whilst the administrative area of Greater London has a population of 7,172,036.
Also, Telford and Milton Keynes are given the Urban Area figures, as there are no appropriate Urban Sub-Area figures given.
