6 of 10... I visted a lot of friends at their universities back in the early 2000s. I went out with a lovely girl for 4 years from Manchester and we went up there to visit her family a lot. We got the train across to Liverpool to check out the museums there. The North was SO much nicer than any of my expectations, it was lovely. I visited London all the time as I lived just outside it in the green belt (Buckinghamshire) for 20 years, so I knew it very well. Never been to : Scotland or Nottingham. I've been to Plymouth, Bournmouth and most of the south coast - but never Southampton.

All of them, although I wouldn't take a list that claims Southampton has a bigger population than Edinburgh very seriously.

I found the source of their info, it looks like it's there because they've combined Southampton with Portsmouth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/294645/population-of-selected-cities-in-united-kingdom-uk/

Yes, I know; the question is why they've picked that metric for the southampton region, and not for anywhere else. It's inconsistent - some are by population, some are by 'metropolitan areas' etc.

El_Scot@reddit

The statistics word it as "agglomerations", which I understand to mean urban areas that are effectively merged into one.

Reply

[-]

AF_II@reddit

Yes, but a) there are multiple ways to agglomerate and b) this list isn’t all the agglomerations in any category. It’s random.

Reply

[-]

El_Scot@reddit

Clicking through the link, they break down their agglomerations. They include areas where at least 15% of the population commute to the main city for work, as part of that city.

SilyLavage@reddit

OP's list of largest cities was probably based on the [urban areas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_in_the_United_Kingdom), so it should arguably be: * Greater London * Greater Manchester * West Midlands * West Yorkshire * Greater Glasgow * Liverpool * South Hampshire * Tyneside * Nottingham * Sheffield

scummy71@reddit

There is a Liverpool city region now that has a mayor. includes places like Wirral, Halton, Sefton, St Helens, Knowsley and of course Liverpool that would bump it up this list. If you are including other greater areas you should include this

martinbaines@reddit

These things are always a bit arbitrary as local authority boundaries can be weird. Edinburgh is actually quite small whether based on the city limits or the urban area. Southampton is larger than people realise, and especially when counted with Portsmouth as in this list of urban areas (South Hampshire in the list). Glasgow has particularly odd boundaries if you compare it to the actual metro area. It would probably make more sense to resurrect the old Strathclyde region (it is still used for transport purposes), and actually shrink the city itself, but as Scotland is bent on single tier authorities I doubt that will happen.

Reply

[-]

AnotherSlowMoon@reddit

> These things are always a bit arbitrary Indeed! Because if we're going by strict definitions of "city" then OP's post should not include London: Greater London is not a city (it is from memory a ceremonial county), the population of "The City of London" (which is a city) is tiny, and "The City of Westminster" does not have London in the name after all!

I'd suggest that it's the tyne-wear met area, because the Newcastle met area includes large parts of wearside.

SilyLavage@reddit

Tyneside and Wearside are defined separately, even though they're directly adjacent. Springwell is defined as Wearside, for example, despite being about halfway between Washington (Wearside) and Gateshead (Tyneside).

Well if we're going by the actual City of London it has only 9k people living there and is tiny in terms of area. Cities in the UK are always hard to compare with each other due to the way they have developed over the centuries

If you did that (and included Eastleigh) the population would be something like 1.5 million, making it the 5th biggest conurbation in the UK (I think).

Quite possibly, it's a big built up area. In 2011 it looks like it was 7th biggest. Very possible its population has grown quicker than other areas and it's moved up though in the most recent census.

Sure, but that's a quirky geographers thing, it's not a meaningful "which is the biggest city" thing for normal people (and if they're doing that then you'd also be doing Manchester/Salford, Hull urban area, West Yorkshire, blah blah).

Also heavily dependent on how much of the city you visit. I love Glasgow dearly, but one particular estate was the only place I’ve ever been in in the UK where I knew I was in the wrong place and had to get out of there immediately. For the record, the only other place I’ve had that feeling was at a certain time in the wrong part of NY. Lived in London for most of my life (just) and I’ve never felt like that there.

Ha yes my folks are from round that way. I used to delight in taking non-Glaswegian middle-class friends on a quick tour of the area between Cessnock and Govan subway stations. Very much a zone of where the pics without windows aren't even necessarily the most threatening pubs. Well back in the day, there's been some measure of gentrification now I suppose up to a point.

Yeah I’m interested in the changes: it’s been about 20 years. The colour matters - say, in the Brazen Head - but that day it was just a really weird atmosphere. I was seeing someone from some estate in Possilpatk at one point but never felt as uneasy as that one day.

From your list: Birmingham. Digbeth bus station and the railway stsation to change trains, never been beyond these two. Glasgow. Went through on the way to Kilmartin, didn't stop. Leeds. Have lived and worked there. Liverpool. Was sent there with work to do a food safety course, wandered about the centre a bit before I got the train home. London. Had a friend who lived there most of the 80's and 90's so visited a lot and went to loads of cool places. Manchester. My sister was in the semi finals of a women's stand up competition there so stayed over and went to see her, had a curry etc. Been through the outskirts on the way to other places. Newcastle. Went many years ago in the early 80's and stayed the night at a friend's place. Only real memories are seeing a film in a cinema that was over the metro and the whole building kept rrttling, and standing on a hill at night looking down into dense fog over the city, the only thing you could see were blue stars shining through the murk. Nottingham. Stayed at a friend's but it was in the suburbs. Sheffield. Again stayed at a friend's in the suburbs. Southampton. Been there but can't remember why, a long time ago.

play_yr_part@reddit

been to others but these are the ones I've been to multiple times/have a strong memory of. Brum - Gets a really bad rap and a lot of it is fair but there are still some great places to live and I'm sure the locals don't mind it being their little secret. Prices in pubs/cafe's anywhere that's not a big chain (even some of those when it comes to pubs) in the city centre are daft though. Not far from London prices in some places despite most people's incomes being nowhere near wtf. Manchester - Never have had a bad day or night out there, always something to see and do, best transport system outside of London/ Thankfully the spice craze has calmed down a bit so Piccadilly Gardens isn't a total crapshoot these days. Not checked but can imagine cost of living there probably rocketed up even before inflation. Liverpool - Was ready to hate it being a United fan but everyone was ready sound and friendly and all the stuff by the riverfront is actually quite pretty. Had a great couple of outings there and would go again. Sheffield - Not the most flashy place but has everything i'd want from a city though if I had to move to one it'd probably be there. Some great views, good music scene, not stupid expensive relative to the other big cities, or wasn't when I last checked. Bristol is my fave city in the UK but I think even some of the homeless there would have more in the bank from me so I doubt I'll ever got a chance to live there.

Task was extended a little bit when they added a few more towns in to the hat a couple of years ago, so I’m now up to 47.

My mum's family are from Birmingham. I was also there on my 14th birthday I used to pass through Glasgow on the way to see my paternal grandparents. I visited most recently in 2021, just to see the museums. I live near Leeds. Gonna be passing through in half an hour, actually I used to live in Liverpool, for University I've visited London half a dozen times, mostly when I was younger cuz my stepdad would go on business trips there and we'd get free accommodation with him. Manchester I pass through very regularly but it's been many years since I properly visited. I was gonna in February but I had an infection on the day. Newcastle I've visited a couple times, again mostly with my stepdad. It was also notably the last place I had a proper trip to before the first lockdown. I've had a few days out in Sheffield. My high school also did a day trip to the university when I was 15. Never been to Southampton, at least as far as I remember. So that's 9/10

That's fair enough. Glasgow does have a lot to offer (although controversially I prefer Edinburgh) and is close to some amazing scenery too. Loch Lomond is close, which is very impressive if you're used to the smaller lakes in England, and then you might be tempted to carry on going further north or head to the coast as well.

I live in LiverpooI, I would say I have meaningfully "visited" only 3 others. I've been to Manchester plenty because it's near and I met my wife there. Birmingham because my brother used to live there, and London on trips as a child. I've been to Newcastle a lot but literally only to one location (TA barracks) so I have no sense of the place at large. Sheffield I've been to once but just for about 3 hours for a gig. I've not much interest in visiting any of them really, except maybe Glasgow because I've heard good things, and maybe Newcastle more because from what I saw I'd probably like it. But I've been to Paris more often than I've been to most of these, including London. Since flying is cheap I'm always going to choose a foreign city over one here for a weekend away.

Nottingham: Went to what claims to be the oldest pub in the world, Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem. Got very lost. Sheffield: Got turned down by the university.

All of them... Glasgow for a 5min job and stepped off megabus at Leeds once. All others either lived or over night / night out to during my uni days.

If you count 30 mins while waiting for a change of train as a visit then all of them. For deliberately going to spend time in that location then 7.

2/10 - don't really feel the need to see the rest except maybe those in Scotland? I travelled around the UK a lot but I guess I just always missed the major cities

Nine: Ive lived in three (London, Manchester, Southampton as a student). Been to the Grand National Weekend and visited for the football (Liverpool), was interviewed in Glasgow and visited 4 others as part of an Away Day with the football. The only one Ive never visited is Leeds. Or was that the ground with the ridiculously short legroom for the away fans? Hang on, maybe it is all 10.

All of them but Leeds, however Newcastle was when I was a small child and remember nothing, and Southampton was to visit a company so it involved a taxi from a train station to a business park and back again. Saw nothing else, so it doesn’t really count.

Visited all if these, though Sheffield only once. Large places I haven’t been to in the U.K. are Hull, Bradford and Belfast.

Six or seven (I am a bit hazy about which universities I looked around 30 years ago so am not certain on a couple).
