Yesterday, I toiled many hours manually collecting data for the quiz, Biggest British Cities within 50 Kilometres. There was probably an easier way to do with a formula or something, but I didn't know it and just did it manually instead.

I thought people might want to have a full list of the data that I collected yesterday, so here it is:

List of British Cities by Distance from a Bigger One

Just posting a link to a quiz and a Google Sheet I thought might not be enough to be worth a blog post, so I thought we might add some other stats for statistics and geography nerds such as myself.

A few notes before we jump in:

• We always use the Greater London population, instead of the City of London
• All distances are in kilometres
• London has an infinite distance to a larger city because we don't count Irish cities, etc. when calculating distance to a bigger city
• Chester uses urban area population, everything else is city proper
• Distances are measured from the city centre
• Official cities only

Cities Farthest From a Bigger One

Biggest Cities Fewer than 50k From a Bigger One

Okay, these charts are taking way longer than expected to make, so I think I'll stop now.

Thanks for reading!
