The Milton Keynes urban area in Buckinghamshire, in the UK, lacks what status?
City status in the United Kingdom City status in the United Kingdom is granted by the monarch of the United Kingdom to a select group of communities: as of 2014 , there are 69 cities in the United Kingdom – 51 in England, six in Wales, seven in Scotland and five in Northern Ireland. The holding of city status gives a settlement no special rights other than that of calling itself a "city". Nonetheless, this appellation carries its own prestige and, consequently, competitions for the status are hard fought.
List of areas of London This is a list of the areas of London, in alphabetical order. In political or administrative usage (and other than the City and the London boroughs themselves) contemporary areas of London are informal, often being based on or adapted from historic parish or borough boundaries abolished by 1965. In ecclesiastical usage, many of the districts exist as parishes either for the established Church of England or other religious bodies. For electoral purposes all boroughs are divided into wards which may share the names of London districts while rarely sharing any accepted boundaries of those places. London postcode districts often have an influence over where a place is considered to be although they were not designed for that purpose.
