Official Cities in the UK (with Map)

Source UK Gov List of Cities

Official city status in the UK can depend on a number of factors. Early diocese cities are judged to have held city status since "time immemorial". Others have been recognised as cities through the presence of a cathedral (though not all places with a cathedral are cities). Since the English reformation many places have become cities through royal charter, with the most recent gaining that status as part of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Civic Honours.
