From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unlike in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there is a uniform pattern of local government, places in England are, broadly speaking, in one of several categories:

  • Places in London (see here)
  • Places in unitary authority areas (see here)
  • Places in metropolitan counties
  • Places in 'two-tier' shire counties
