About these 1,111 areas
The directory selects the 1,111 largest areas by published population in the source lists. England and Wales use 2021 built-up-area figures, Scotland uses 2022 localities and Northern Ireland uses exact 2021 settlement counts. London appears once using its 2021 regional population.
These census years and area definitions differ, so this is a combined source ranking rather than a single official UK league table. Unranked London neighbourhoods and wards are excluded. Places sharing an ordinary name share one clean page, with their separate locations shown in the details.
Population sources: ONS built-up areas, Nomis London Census 2021, NRS Census 2022 localities and NISRA Census 2021 settlements.
