Which is the largest city in Britain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

With a population between 7,000,000 and 11,000,000 (depending on which measure is used), London is Britain's largest city by far.

London is easily the largest city in the UK, particularly if including the area known as Greater London. London is approx 31 miles wide and has a population of 8 million people. This is not the same as the "City of London" which refers to a square mile within Greater London. You could argue that Greater London is not a city but a county, as it comprises many towns and two cities.

In this case the largest city would be Birmingham which is approx 101 square miles with a population of 1,000,000.
London - with a population of around 8 million.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Obviously not. Waterford City, Ireland, has a population of around 120,000 and it is not even the smallest city in Europe. So a city of around 15,000,000 (London) could hardly be the smallest.

the actual city of London has a population of way under 10,000, and is the second smallest in England, however Wells in Somerset is the smallest city in England, and St Davids in Wales is the smallest in the UK. the smallest city in Europe is in Croatia, Hum has 23 citizens!

How many houses in Downing Street?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

9 Downing Street was named in 2001 and is the Downing Street entrance to the Privy Council Office and currently houses the Chief Whip's office. It was formerly part of Number 10.

10 Downing Street is the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, and thus the residence of the British Prime Minister, as in modern times, the two roles have been filled by the same person. It has fulfilled this role since 1735.

11 Downing Street has been the official residence of the Second Lord of the Treasury since 1828, and thus the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

12 Downing Street, formerly the Chief Whip's Office, currently houses the Prime Minister's Press Office, Strategic Communications Unit and Information and Research Unit. In the 1820s it was occupied by the Judge Advocate-General, although it remained in private ownership. It entered government hands when purchased by the East India Company in 1863, and became occupied by the marine and railway departments of the Board of Trade. It was originally Number 13, but was partially re-built and re-numbered following the demolition of Number 14 in 1876. It was badly damaged by a fire in 1879, and underwent further changes as a result.

14 Downing Street formerly closed off the western end of the street. It was acquired by the Crown in 1798, and was used by the War Office andColonial Office in the 19th century. Some parts were demolished in the 1860s, and by 1876 it had been removed completely.

15-16 Downing Street, long since demolished, formerly held the Foreign Office, which also occupied two houses on the west side of the street.

18 Downing Street was occupied by the West India Department of the Colonial Office.

20 Downing Street was occupied by the Tithe Commission.

Asked by Wiki User

The country due south of London is France. If you were to draw a straight line directly south from London, you would eventually end up in our beautiful neighbor across the Channel.

So if you're ever in need of some croissants, baguettes, or a lovely glass of wine, a quick journey south from London will have you crossing into France in no time! Cheers!
