For instance: the Aldershot/Farnborough is more of an urban area than a city, but even taking into account the population of the area, yours is still double:
32 (largest urban area in UK): Farnborough/ Aldershot
Population: 252,397 People (2011)
Area: 78.5 km^2
Density: 3,217 people/km^2
Cities: Farnborough, Aldershot, Camberley, Farnham, Frimley, Sandhurst, Yateley
Your population count is still double, those numbers are still also high for cities like Bournemouth. I find it quite surprising.
