From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Largest towns in England)
This article is about 2021 ONS built-up areas. For 2011 ONS built-up areas (known as urban areas in 2001) and having no equivalent in 2021, see List of urban areas in the United Kingdom. For an alphabetical list of cities, see List of cities in the United Kingdom. For an alphabetical list of towns, see List of towns in England.

This list of built-up areas for England was compiled by the Office for National Statistics after the 2021 UK Census.[1] Built-up area boundaries are defined and named by the ONS. (In ONS reports of the 2011 and 2021 censuses, many of these areas were called "built-up sub-areas" of larger urban areas; as of October 2024, the ONS has not defined a new nomenclature for the urban areas or released any data for them.)
